.TH CDBS-EDIT-PATCH 1 "5 Feb 2006" Debian "CDBS Documentation"
.SH NAME
cdbs\-edit\-patch \- create or edit a CDBS simple-patchsys.mk patch
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cdbs\-edit\-patch \fIpatchname\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBcdbs\-edit\-patch\fP creates or edits patches for use by the CDBS
simple-patchsys.mk patch system. For more information about CDBS
please see the documentation under \fI/usr/share/doc/cdbs/\fP.
When \fIpatchname\fP exists, \fBcdbs\-edit\-patch\fP will set up a
temporary working source tree, apply all patches up to and including
\fIpatchname\fP in lexicographic order, and spawn an interactive shell
for the developer. The developer can then edit files in this working
tree. When the developer is done and exits the shell,
\fBcdbs\-edit\-patch\fP updates \fIpatchname\fP to reflect the changes
made. To abort the process from the interactive shell, exit with a
nonzero exit value.
When \fIpatchname\fP does not exist, \fBcdbs\-edit\-patch\fP will
assume that a new patch should be created. As with the above
scenario, \fBcdbs\-edit\-patch\fP will first create a temporary
working source tree and apply all patches up to the new patch in
lexicographic order. When the shell is quit, \fBcdbs\-edit\-patch\fP
will create \fIpatchname\fP.
