cdbs-edit-patch - create or edit a CDBS simple-patchsys.mk patch
cdbs-edit-patch patchname
cdbs-edit-patch creates or edits patches for use by the CDBS
simple-patchsys.mk patch system. For more information about CDBS please see
the documentation under
/usr/share/doc/cdbs/.
When
patchname exists,
cdbs-edit-patch will set up a temporary
working source tree, apply all patches up to and including
patchname in
lexicographic order, and spawn an interactive shell for the developer. The
developer can then edit files in this working tree. When the developer is done
and exits the shell,
cdbs-edit-patch updates
patchname to
reflect the changes made. To abort the process from the interactive shell,
exit with a nonzero exit value.
When
patchname does not exist,
cdbs-edit-patch will assume that a
new patch should be created. As with the above scenario,
cdbs-edit-patch will first create a temporary working source tree and
apply all patches up to the new patch in lexicographic order. When the shell
is quit,
cdbs-edit-patch will create
patchname.
