cdbs-edit-patch(1)


NAME

   cdbs-edit-patch - create or edit a CDBS simple-patchsys.mk patch

SYNOPSIS

   cdbs-edit-patch patchname

DESCRIPTION

   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.
