Building gpsd (3.15-1) with your patch applied:
cp /home/srs/DEBs/gpsd/gpsd-3.15/gpsd.rules 
/home/srs/DEBs/gpsd/gpsd-3.15/debian/gpsd.udev
cp: cannot create regular file
‘/home/srs/DEBs/gpsd/gpsd-3.15/debian/gpsd.udev’: Permission denied

Since the packages I've built builds fine using the condition below:
if (file != MACH_PORT_NULL && (nn->openmodes & newmodes))
please explain what is wrong with it and why it works while your does
not?
