[Devil-linux-develop] Handling patch files?

[Martin G. <sou...@gl...>]

Hey all

I'm working on building l2tp and there are a number of patch files (7) 
available for the current version - what I'm wondering is how to handle these 
patch files from a DL build perspective?

These 7 patches are available from 1 location, but as 7 separate files. They 
are required for successful operation of l2tp.

Looking at the other scripts, some patches are handled in in a separate build 
script (x509patch for example), others are handled in the program build 
script itself (freeswan-alg for example).

How should I handle these? put all the scripts in a separate patch directory 
(off of build/src) and do the patching in the l2tp build script? - this is my 
preferred method, or modify the patches and make it into 1 huge patchfile, or 
make a separate build script just for the patches, or ???

Thanks

Martin
