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.
