CDBS-EDIT-PATCH(1)            CDBS Documentation            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 lexico-
       graphic  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 re-
       flect 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.
