How to get source of openjdk-8-jdk with patches applied?

Question

I have run apt-get source openjdk-8-jdk=8u275-b01-0ubuntu1~18.04.

which gathered .dsc, .orig.tar.gz file and .diff.gz files, which I deleted afterwards. Next to these files is a folder openjdk-8-8u275-b01 which contains a debian/patches/ folder. Inside the patches folder is a list .diff and .patch files, however no order file.

I need to get the source of openjdk-8-jdk and that specific version with the patches applied.

Running quilt push -a returns an error No series file found.

Running apt-get source openjdk-8-jdk=8u275-b01-0ubuntu1~18.04 again throws an error as that version is no longer available. The files can however still be downloaded from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/8u275-b01-0ubuntu1~18.04

How do I get the patched source?

Answer 1

Refer to spec: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/modify.en.html

Basically you create shell alias dquilt with special env var that follows convention of Debian project, the most important is:

QUILT_PATCHES="debian/patches"

Then you can quilt push -a.
