Hi,
I want to change configure file for fakeroot-1.14.4.
I am using ptxdist (ptxdist-2015.05.0) to manage  fakeroot-1.14.4.

How/where can I change ptxdist to modify fakeroot-1.14.4/configure file.
I want change such as replacing gcc to gcc-5 regardless of system defined
gcc.

You may want to migrate your BSP to ptxdist-2017.06.0 …

You can patch packages. If you look into the distributed files you see
a folder patches containing subfolders and a series file for each. So
the recommended way to go (which also is helpful if you want to
upgrade a patch series for upstreaming) is:

* in your BSP create a subfolder named 'patches'
* inside 'patches' create a folder named _exactly_ like the one for the
package you want to patch in platform-*/build-target/
* go into that folder and touch a file 'series'
* in your BSP call `ptxdist clean <yourpackage>`
* then call `ptxdist --git extract <yourpackage>`
* go into platform-*/build-target/<yourpackage>
* make your changes
* commit those with git
* call `git ptx-patches`
* you'll find updated patches in the patches folder
* proceed with the usual build steps

IIRC there's also a chapter about patch management in the
documentation.
