—

port.
SYNOPSIS
update-patches |
DESCRIPTION
update-patches
is a helper script for the
target update-patches in
bsd.port.mk(5). It takes no argument, but uses quite a few
environment variables as implicit parameters.
update-patches
looks under
WRKDIST
for patched files. Those are files with
extension PATCHORIG
, except for those matching also
DISTORIG
.
Once those files are found, they are matched against the contents
of directory PATCHDIR
, most specifically files
matching wildcard PATCH_LIST
. Matching files are
regenerated using
diff -u -p -a ${DIFF_ARGS} $file$PATCHORIG $file
and compared. Modified patches are updated and reported, new patches are generated, and old patches that no longer seem to exist are also reported.
update-patches
patches with problematic
cvs(1) keywords are also reported.
update-patches
prints the list of changed
patches for further study.
