SHAPE_PATCH(1)						      General Commands Manual						    SHAPE_PATCH(1)

NAME

       shape_patch - shapeTools RMS generate patch file

SYNOPSIS

       shape patch OLDRELEASE=<name1> NEWRELEASE=<name2> [PATCHFILE=<filename>]

DESCRIPTION

       Shape  patch  generates	a patch file for updating $(OLDRELEASE) to $(NEWRELEASE). Both releases are identified by release names associated
       with the macros OLD-/NEWRELEASE on the command line. Valid release names are those generated by any of the shape_RMS (pre-)release building
       procedures  (see  shape_releas(1)).  Performing 'vl -all' with the release identification file as argument usually gives a good overview of
       existing release names.	Patch generation happens recursively over all subsystems being part of the current node. Hence,  triggering  shape
       patch from the top node of the central source repository creates a patch file for the whole system.

       The  output  of	shape patch is stored in a file named <name1>+2+<name2>.pat. When the PATCHFILE macro is set on the command line, $(PATCH-
       FILE) is taken as output file name instead.  Defining PATCHFILE=- on the command line causes the patch to be written  to  standard  output.
       Note:  For patches invoking multiple subsystems, $(PATCHFILE) should be set to an absolute pathname. If not, the patch generation procedure
       will leave an equally named patch file for each visited subsystem.

       The patch is constructed using the vdiff(1) command and can be applied to any installation of $(OLDRELEASE) by invoking patch(1).

INCONVENIENCES

       On System V machines, the generated patch file name will almost certainly exceed the 14 characters filename length limit.

NAME

       edit-patch, add-patch - tool for preparing patches for Debian source packages

SYNOPSIS

       edit-patch path/to/patch

       add-patch path/to/patch

DESCRIPTION

       edit-patch is a wrapper script around the Quilt, CDBS, and dpatch patch systems. It simplifies the process of preparing and editing patches
       to Debian source packages and allows the user to not have to be concerned with which patch system is in use.   Run  from  inside  the  root
       directory of the source package, edit-patch can be used to edit existing patches located in debian/patches.

       It can also be used to incorporate new patches.  If pointed at a patch not already present, it will copy the patch to debian/patches in the
       correct format for the patch system in use.  Next, the patch is applied and a subshell is opened in order to edit the patch.   Typing  exit
       or pressing Ctrl-d will close the subshell and launch an editor to record the debian/changelog entry.

       edit-patch  is  integrated  with  the  Bazaar  and Git version control systems.  The patch will be automatically added to the tree, and the
       debian/changelog entry will be used as the commit message.

       If no patch system is present, the patch is applied inline, and a copy is stored in debian/patches-applied.

       add-patch is the non-interactive version of edit-patch.  The patch will be incorporated but no editor or subshell will be spawned.
