quilt – ein kleines HOWTO

Weil ich es ständig hier nordisch.org nachschaue, kann ich es auch hier direkt zeigen.

osc co yourproject/yourpackage
cd yourproject/yourpackage
quilt setup -v *spec
cd yourpackage-*/
quilt push -a # apply old patches
quilt new yourpackage-version_fixbuild.patch
quilt edit src/foo.c
quilt refresh

foo-fixbuild.patch will automatically be created in the parent dir.
if you work on a package which doesnt have a patch yet. you have to remember to
copy the patch from the patch directory to your package directory.

normally i rerun quilt setup once i got an initial patch.
there is also quilt pop so you can remove patches from your working
copy. but the docs have a lot more informations about this.
