debianized source code
I came across the term debianized source code while browsing wiki. What does that mean? How is it different from vanilla? What is added/subtracted/edited?

Vanilla used in this context is slang for ordinary or standard. Probably what most would call stock.

I.e. not all source code from e.g. a git repository includes a configure file. Note : A Debian source is two files : name_version.debian.orig.tar.gz ... and a patch, e.g. like name_version.debian-1.diff.gz or name_version.debian.tar.xz And : There is always included a debian/ folder (from the patch) with e.g. this : changelog, control, copyright, patches/{files.patch}, README.Debian, rules . - |
https://wiki.debian.org/apt-src may have a link to another reference. I didn't look. I was in my hard copy...
I asked on irc, did not get an answer. https://debian-handbook.info/browse/...ng-system.html seems on target. |
"debianised" source code is source code which includes debian specific patches and makefiles/configs. In a nutshell it's the source code which debian binary packages are generated from, rather than "upstream" source.
If you Code:
$ apt-get source package_foo Then dpkg-buildpackage would build a package from the source. If you're using upstream source, dh-make is used to "debianise" it before running dpkg-buildpackage. |
https://wiki.debian.org/apt-src like Habitual mentioned.

"apt-src"? more needless reinvention of the wheel it seems. Things have changed a bit since I used Debian.
Your link doesn't explain what debianised source is however nor how to debianise source. It seems like debhelper/dh-make is still valid at least. |
I stand by my original thoughts which is that this is a made up word for their preferences.

Maybe seeing the structure of one will help?
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...u0.2_amd64.deb This is the fix.deb for the present cups fiasco in debian-flavored OSs. |

Seemed to confirm your explanation. I thought it close to the buildd service? IDK if things have "changed", I just got here after 7 years of every thing except pure Debian. |

I've explained what it means above - OK I may not be up to speed with the latest changes to the apt tools - but "debianised" source is, in a nutshell, upstream source code with Debian patches, from which Debian packages can be built. Quote:

As I understand it "apt" also replaced "apt-get" at some point? |
