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.
