My question is, given the way I've installed VDR, what's the best/easiest way for me to apply this patch? Do I have to compile VDR from source myself, or can I somehow modify the debian VDR package sources on my machine and build them with this patch applied?
Please search for `dpkg-buildpackage` on the WWW. It should work the following way (from memory and not tested).
$ apt-get source vdr # name of your VDR package $ cd vdr-1.6… # directory with the sources should be vdr-versionnumber $ # apply the patch $ dch -v1.6.0-1-patched1 Unoffial release with dxr3 subtitles patch # adapt version accordingly, dch from devscripts package, `man dch` for questions $ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc $ sudo dpkg -i ../vdr*.deb # Choose the correct packages.
Thanks,
Paul
