Re: [Devil-linux-develop] Handling patch files?

[<hzu...@ra...>]

Hey,

I would suggest you do it similar to wait I do with the kernel patches,
since this is better when you have to apply multiple patches.
I have one tarball kernel-patches.tar.bz2 which I keep up to date.

Here are the magic lines (you find it in the file prepare):
             if [ ! -f devil-linux-kernel-patches.done ]; then
                         touch devil-linux-kernel-patches.done
                         for PATCH in $(ls $WORKDIR/kernel-patches/* 2>
/dev/null )
                         do
                                     echo applying patch: $PATCH
                                     patch -p1 -i $PATCH || exit 1
                         done
             fi

When the patches need to be installed in a specific order, just rename them
with a number in front:
01_first_patch
02_second_patch
and so on
