Hey Andreas, $ apt-get source libvirt0 $ cd libvirt-* Copy your patch to debian/patches/foo.patch (no, not literally foo) and then run $ sudo apt-get build-dep libvirt0 && debuild -uc -us when it's done there will be a few .deb files in ../ Cheers, C.J.

I'm still experimenting around with the vTPM patch, and I want to install my version of libvirt on a Debian system - not in my $HOME directory but on the default paths. I followed the autogen command below and also did "make install", but now virsh for example searches for the certificates in /usr/local/etc/pki instead of the standard path /etc/pki. How do I need to configure the project to correct that and install libvirt from source like it would be installed by a package manager?

If you're just doing dev changes, it is best not to install it into your main system. Instead just build and run directly from the source tree.
eg, what I normally do is
./autogen.sh --enable-compile-warnings=error --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc make
And *not* make install.
