Hi,
Is there any procedure introduction or guidelines of switching an
existing package from official one to a fork?
Not sure, what you actually are asking.
In general, switching to a fork needs very careful consideration on a
case-by-case basis and not be taken light-heartedly.
Packaging-wise, "switching to a fork" can mean many things, such as
- replacing a package with a 100% compatible drop-in replacement.
- using a different ("forked") package instead of another one ("the
original"), with both being installed in parallel.
- replacing a package with a different package, with the original
package being removed from the distro.
So, you could you please provide more details about the specific case
you are referring to?
