NAME

SYNOPSIS

10       cdbs-edit-patch patchname

DESCRIPTION

14       cdbs-edit-patch  creates  or  edits patches for use by the CDBS simple-
15       patchsys.mk patch system.  For more information about CDBS  please  see
16       the documentation under /usr/share/doc/cdbs/.
17
18       When  patchname exists, cdbs-edit-patch will set up a temporary working
19       source tree, apply all patches up to and including patchname in lexico‐
20       graphic  order,  and spawn an interactive shell for the developer.  The
21       developer can then edit files in this working tree.  When the developer
22       is  done  and  exits  the  shell,  cdbs-edit-patch updates patchname to
23       reflect the changes made.  To abort the process  from  the  interactive
24       shell, exit with a nonzero exit value.
25
26       When  patchname  does not exist, cdbs-edit-patch will assume that a new
27       patch should be created.  As with the above  scenario,  cdbs-edit-patch
28       will first create a temporary working source tree and apply all patches
29       up to the new patch in lexicographic order.  When the  shell  is  quit,
30       cdbs-edit-patch will create patchname.
