EXAMPLES
Edit the 021_debian patch of Heimdal:
~/heimdal-0.3d$ dbs-edit-patch -t/tmp 021_debian
Extracting source heimdal-0.3d.tar.gz ... successful.
Applying patch 001_replay ... successful.
etc.
Copying heimdal-0.3d to heimdal-0.3d-old ... successful.
Applying patch 021_debian ... successful.
Edit files under /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d as required, then execute
/tmp/021_debian/dbs_update_patch to save the results.
Technote: dbs-edit-patch extracts the original source code into
/tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d, applies all patches before 021_debian,
copies the result to /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d-old, and applies the
last patch 021_debian (if it exists). Also, it creates a shell archive
which will create the diff between the old and new directories:
~/heimdal-0.3d$ ls -l /tmp/021_debian
total 12
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bam users 112 Jan 31 13:31 dbs-update-patch*
drwxr-xr-x 14 bam users 4096 Jan 31 13:31 heimdal-0.3d/
drwxr-xr-x 14 bam users 4096 Jan 31 13:31 heimdal-0.3d-old/
~/heimdal-0.3d$ cat /tmp/021_debian/dbs-update-patch
#!/bin/sh
diff -ruN /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d-old > ./debian/patches/021_debian
