Code review comment for lp:~xmacex/ubuntu/raring/modemmanager/ignore-arduino-lilypad-usb

Hi Mace

Thanks for taking the time to propose this fix for Ubuntu.

As this is your first bugfix now is a great time to learn about how the 'source format' of a Debian package works.

This package is source format 3.0 (quilt) (see debian/source/format); as a result when we do fixes in packaging, they are applied as patches to the original source code as part of the package build process, rather than applying the fixes directly to the upstream source code.

This package already has a number of such fixes - see debian/patches/*.

Have a read of - http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/patches-to-packages.html - it will walk you through how to prepare your fix as a quilt patch.

Cheers

James
