Remove useless oldies. Missing functionnalities needs to be reimplemented almost from the scratch due to the bunch of changes to the core since those scripts were written.

-Patch management scripts
-Andrew Morton <akpm@digeo.com>
-18 October 2002
-
-This is a description of a bunch of shell scripts which I use for
-managing kernel patches.  They are quite powerful.  They can be used on
-projects other than the linux kernel.  They are easy to use, and fast.
-
-You end up doing a ton of recompiling with these scripts, because
-you're pushing and popping all the time.  ccache takes away the pain of
-all that.  http://ccache.samba.org/ - be sure to put the cache
-directory on the same fs as where you're working so that ccache can use
-hardlinks.
-
-The key philosophical concept is that your primary output is patches. 
-Not ".c" files, not ".h" files.  But patches.  So patches are the
-first-class object here.
-
-Installation
-============
-
-You place all the scripts somewhere in your path, or in
-/usr/lib/patch-scripts.
-
-Terminology
-===========
-
-The patch scripts require three special directories called "pc",
-"patches" and "txt".
-
-If the environment variable PATCHSCRIPTS is set, it is taken to to be
-the directory in which those three directories reside.  Typically, it
-would be a relative pathname.  So
-
-	setenv PATCHSCRIPTS ./i-put-them-here
-
-would tell the patch scripts to look in ./i-put-them-here/pc, etc.
-
-If PATCHSCRIPTS is not set, and the directory ./patch-scripts is
-present then the patch scripts will us ./patch-scripts/pc/,
-./patch-scripts/patches/ and ./patch-scripts/txt/.
-
-Otherwise, the patch scripts use ./pc, ./patches and ./txt.
-
-In this document, the symbol $P is used to describe the directory which
-holds the pc/, patches/ and txt/ directories, as determined by the
-above search.
-
-It is expected that $P will always expand to a relative path.
-
-Concepts
-========
-
-All work occurs with a single directory tree.  All commands are invoked
-within the root of that tree.  The scripts manage a "stack" of patches.
-
-Each patch is a changeset against the base tree plus the preceding patches.
-
-All patches are listed, in order, in the file ./series.  You manage the
-series file.  Lines in the series file which start with `#' are ignored.
-
-Any currently-applied patches are described in the file
-./applied-patches.  The patch scripts manage this file.
-
-Each patch affects a number of files in the tree.  These files are
-listed in a "patch control" file.  These .pc files live in the
-directory $P/pc/
-
-Patches are placed in the directory $P/patches/
-
-Documentation for the patches is placed in $P/txt/
-
-So for a particular patch "my-first-patch" the following will exist:
-
-- An entry "my-first-patch.patch" in ./series
-
-- An entry "my-first-patch" in ./applied-patches (if it's currently applied)
-
-- A file $P/pc/my-first-patch.pc which contains the names of the
-  files which my-first-patch modifies, adds or removes
-
-- A file $P/txt/my-first-patch.txt which contains the patch's
-  changelog.
-
-- A file $P/patches/my-first-patch.patch, which is the output of the
-  patch scripts.
-
-Operation
-=========
-
-When a patch "my-patch" is applied with apatch, or with pushpatch
-(which calls apatch), all the affected files (from $P/pc/my-patch.pc)
-are copied to files with ~my-patch appended.  So if $P/pc/my-patch.pc
-contained
-
-	kernel/sched.c
-	fs/inode.c
-
-then apatch will copy those files into kernel/sched.c~my-patch and
-fs/inode.c~my-patch.  It will then apply the patch to kernel/sched.c
-and fs/inode.c
-
-When a diff is regenerated by refpatch (which calls mpatch), the diff
-is made between kernel/sched.c and kernel/sched.c~my-patch.  How do the
-scripts know to use "~my-patch"?  Because my-patch is the current
-topmost patch.  It's the last line in ./applied-patches.
-
-In this way, the whole thing is stackable.  If you have four patches
-applied, say "patch-1", "patch-2", "patch-3" and "patch-4", and if
-patch-2 and patch-4 both touch kernel/sched.c then you will have:
-
-	kernel/sched.c~patch-2		Original copy, before patch-2
-	kernel/sched.c~patch-4		Copy before patch-4.  Contains changes
-					from patch-2
-	kernel/sched.c			Current working copy.  Contains changes
-					from patch-4.
-
-This means that your diff headers contain "~patch-name" in them, which
-is convenient documentation.
-
-Walkthrough
-===========
-
-Let's start.
-
-Go into /usr/src/linux (or wherever)
-
-	mkdir pc patches txt
-
-Now let's generate a patch
-
-	fpatch my-patch kernel/sched.c
-
-OK, we've copied kernel/sched.c to kernel/sched.c~my-patch.  We've
-appended "my-patch" to ./applied-patches and we've put "kernel/sched.c"
-into the patch control file, pc/my-patch.pc.
-
-	Now edit kernel/sched.c a bit.
-
-Now we're ready to document the patch
-
-	Now write txt/my-patch.txt
-
-Now generate the patch
-
-	refpatch
-
-This will generate patches/my-patch.patch.  Take a look.
-
-Now remove the patch
-
-	poppatch
-
-applied-patches is now empty, and the patch is removed.
-
-Now let's add a file to my-patch and then generate my-second-patch:
-
-	Add "my-patch.patch" to ./series (no blank lines in that file please)
-
-	pushpatch
-
-OK, the patch is applied again.  Let's add another file
-
-	fpatch kernel/printk.c
-
-Note that here we gave fpatch a single argument.  So rather than
-opening a new patch, it adds kernel/printk.c to the existing topmost
-patch.  That's my-patch.
-
-	Edit kernel/printk.c
-
-Refresh my-patch (you end up running refpatch a lot)
-
-	refpatch
-
-Now start a second patch:
-
-	fpatch my-second-patch kernel/sched.c
-
-Now take a look at applied-patches.  Also do an `ls kernel/sched*'.
-
-	Edit kernel/sched.c, to make some changes for my-second-patch
-
-Generate my-second-patch:
-
-	refpatch
-
-Take a look in patches/my-second-patch.patch
-
-Don't forget to add "my-second-patch.patch" to the series file.
-
-And remove both patches:
-
-	poppatch
-	poppatch
-
-
-That's pretty much it, really.
-
-
-Command reference
-=================
-
-Generally, where any of these commands take a "patch-name", that can be
-of the form txt/patch-name.txt, patch-name.pc, just patch-name or
-whatever.  The scripts will strip off a leading "txt/", "patches/" or
-"pc/" and any trailing extension.  This is so you can do
-
-	apatch patches/a<tab>
-
-to conveniently use shell tabbing to select patch names.
-
-
-
-added-by-patch
-
-  Some internal thing.
-
-apatch [-f] patch-name
-
-  This is the low-level function which adds patches.  It does the
-  copying into ~-files and updates the applied-patches file.  It
-  applies the actual patch.
-
-  apatch will do a patch --dry-run first and will refuse to apply the
-  patch if the dryrun fails.
-
-  So when you are getting rejects you do this:
-
-	pushpatch		# This fails, due to rejects.  Drat.
-	apatch -f patch-name	# Force the patch
-  (or)  pushpatch -f		# Force the patch
-
-  OK, you've now applied patch-name, but you have rejects.  Go fix
-  those up and do
-
-	refpatch
-
-  And you're ready to move on.
-
-combine-series output-file
-
-  It incrementally combinediffs all the patches in series to make a
-  complete patch for the series.  Requires combinediff frmo patchutils.
-
-  See http://cyberelk.net/tim/patchutils/ (Don't download the
-  "experimental" patchutils - it seems to only have half of the
-  commands in it.  Go for "stable")
-
-cvs-take-patch
-
-  I forget.
-
-export_patch
-
-  export the patches listed in ./series to a set of files which
-  are named in such a way that the sort order is the same as the
-  order of the series file. 
-
-  Usage:  export_patch directory [prefix]
-
-  Example:
-	
-	Suppose ./series contains
-	
-	mango.patch
-	orange.patch
-	banana.patch
-	apple.patch
-	pear.patch
-
-	export_patch ../mypatches fruit 
-	
-	The patches would be copied to
-
-	../mypatches/p00001_fruit_mango.patch
-	../mypatches/p00002_fruit_orange.patch
-	../mypatches/p00003_fruit_banana.patch
-	../mypatches/p00003_fruit_banana.patch
-	../mypatches/p00003_fruit_banana.patch
-
-	Named in this way, someone may easily apply them:
-
-	cat mypatches/p*fruit* | patch -p1
-
-	If prefix is omitted, the patchnames will be transformed
-	such that "original.patch" becomes "pXXXXX_original.patch".
-
-fpatch [patch-name] foo.c
-
-  If patch-name is given, fpatch will start a new patch which
-  modifies (or adds, or removes) the single file foo.c.  It updates
-  ./applied-patches and creates pc/patch-name.pc.  fpatch will copy
-  foo.c to foo.c~patch-name in preparation for edits of foo.c.
-
-  If patch-name is not given then fpatch will add foo.c to the
-  current topmost patch.  It will add "foo.c" to $P/pc/$(toppatch).pc. 
-  It will copy foo.c to foo.c~$(toppatch).
-
-import_patch
-
-  Imports a set of patch files, creating $P/pc, $P/txt, $P/patches and
-  ./series as necessary.  It also creates $P/txt/*.txt by stripping 
-  off the top of the patches (and removes any diffstat output it finds, 
-  so that it can eat refpatch output and export_patch output.)  The 
-  imported patch names are appended to the series file.
-
-  In creating the $P/txt/*.txt files, mail headers are stripped with 
-  formail, preserving the "From:" and "Subject:" lines.  "DESC" and
-  "EDESC" markers are added if they are not already present, using the
-  "From:" and "Subject:" lines for the DESC portion, if they are present.
-  (See "patchdesc" command, below, for more on these markers.)
-
-  Also, it can rename the patch file as it is imported by stripping out
-  a pattern.  This is useful if, as often is the case, you have patch 
-  sets with filenames designed to help sort the patches into the correct 
-  order, such as "p001_xxx_funky_stuff.patch" you can have it automatically
-  renamed to funky_stuff.patch on import, and let the series file manage
-  the ordering.
-
-  Import_patch will uncompress patches (*.Z, *.bz2, *.gz) as necessary.
-
-  Usage:
-
-  import_patch [-p pattern] patchfile ...
-
-  Example:
-
-	% ls ../fruit/p*patch
-	../fruit/p00001_northern_apple.patch
-	../fruit/p00001_tropical_mango.patch
-	../fruit/p00002_northern_pear.patch
-	../fruit/p00002_tropical_orange.patch
-	../fruit/p00003_tropical_banana.patch
-	% import_patch -p 'p[0-9]*_tropical_' ../fruit/p*tropical*
-	Recreated pc/mango.pc
-	Recreated pc/orange.pc
-	Recreated pc/banana.pc
-	% import_patch -p 'p[0-9]*_northern_' ../fruit/p*northern*
-	Recreated pc/apple.pc
-	Recreated pc/pear.pc
-
-  Then you can "pushpatch; refpatch" 5 times.
-
-inpatch
-
-  List the names of ths files which are affected by the current
-  topmost patch.
-
-  This is basically
-
-	cat pc/$(toppatch).pc
-
-join-patch patchname
-
-  "joins" the named patch to the current topmost patch.
-
-  Use this when you want to merge two patches into one.  All the
-  files which `patchname' affects are added to pc/$(toppatch).pc (if
-  they are not already there) and patch `patchname' is applied.  The
-  top patch remains unchanged.  You'll need to run refpatch afterwards.
-
-mpatch
-
-  A low-level thing to generate patches
-
-new-kernel
-
-  Some thing I use for importing a new kernel from kernel.org
-
-p0-2-p1
-
-  Internal thing to convert patch -p0 form into patch -p1
-
-patchdesc
-
-  Generates a single-line description of a patch.
-
-  The txt/my-patch.txt files have the following format:
-
-  <start of file>
-  DESC
-  some short description
-  EDESC
-
-  The long description
-  <end of file>
-
-  I use
-
-	patchdesc $(cat series)
-
-  to generate short-form summaries of the patch series.
-
-patchfns
-
-  Internal utilities
-
-pcpatch
-
-  Standalone tool to generate a .pc file from a patch.
-
-  Say someone sends you "his-patch.diff".  What you do is:
-
-	cp ~/his-patch.diff patches/his-patch.patch
-	pcpatch his-patch
-
-  This generates $P/pc/his-patch.pc and you're all set.  Add
-  "his-patch.patch" to ./series in the right place and start pushing.
-
-p_diff
-
-  I forget
-
-poppatch
-
-  Remove one or more patches from the current stack.  This command
-  does *not* use the series file.  It works purely against
-  applied-patches.
-
-  Usage:
-
-	poppatch
-		Remove the topmost patch
-	poppatch 10
-		Remove ten patches
-	poppatch some-patch-name[.patch]
-		Remove patches until "some-patch-name" is top patch
-
-pstatus
-
-	Shows status of patches
-
-  Usage:
-	pstatus [patchfile ...]
-	
-	One line per patch is output showing:
-	1: Patch number in the series file
-	2: Whether the patch is currently applied
-	3: Name of patch
-	4: Status of the patch (needs pcpatch, changelog, refpatch)
-
-	If no patchfiles are specified, $P/patches/*.patch
-	are assumed.
-
-  Caveats:
-	A patch set which contains separate patches to add a file
-	and modify that same file may give spurious "Needs refpatch"
-	status for the patch which adds the file or the topmost patch.
-
-ptkdiff
-
-  Two modes:
-
-	ptkdiff -
-
-               Run tkdiff against all the file affected
-               by $(toppatch).  The diff is only for the changes made
-               by the top patch! ie: it's between "filename" and
-               "filename~toppatch-name".
-
-	ptkdiff filename
-
-               Just run tkdiff against that file,
-               showing the changes which are due to toppatch.
-
-pushpatch [-f]
-
-  Apply the next patch, from the series file.
-
-  This consults ./applied-patches to find out the top patch, then
-  consults ./series to find the next patch.  And pushes it.
-
-    pushpatch
-
-      Apply the next patch
-
-    pushpatch 10
- 
-      Apply the next ten patches
-
-    pushpatch some-patch-name
-
-      Keep pushing patches until "some-patch-name" is toppatch
-
-    pushpatch -f
-
-      Push the next patch, ignoring rejects.
-
-refpatch
-
-    regnerates the topmost patch.  Reads all the affected files
-    from pc/$(toppatch).pc and diffs them against their tilde-files.
-
-    Also pastes into the patch your patch documentation and
-    generates a diffstat summary.
-
-removed-by-patch
-
-  Some thing.
-
-rename-patch
-
-  CVS rename for patches.
-
-rolled-up-patch
-
-  Bit of a hack.  Is designed to generate a rolled-up diff of all
-  currently-applied patches.  But it requires a ../linux-2.x.y tree to
-  diff against.  Needs to be redone.
-
-rpatch
-
-  Internal command
-
-split-patch
-
-  Some thing someone write to split patches up.  I don't use it.
-
-tag-series
-
-  Assuming you keep pc/*, patches/* and txt/* under CVS revision
-  control, tag-series allows you to tag a patchset's individual
-  components.  I use
-
-	tag-series s2_5_44-mm3 pc/2.5.44-mm3-series
-
-  which will attach the cvs tag "s2_5_44-mm3" to every .pc, .patch
-  and .txt file which is mentioned in the series file
-  "pc/2.5.44-mm3-series".
-
-  It will also tag pc/2.5.44-mm3-series, which is a bit redundant
-  given that I use a different series file for each patchset release..
-
-
-toppatch
-
-  Print the name of the topmost patch.  From ./applied-patches
-
-touched-by-patch patch-filename
-
-  List the names of files which are affected by a diff.
-
-unitdiff.py
-
-  Rasmus Andersen's script to convert a diff into minimum-context
-  form.  This form has a better chance of applying if you're getting
-  nasty rejects.  But patch can and will make mistakes when fed
-  small-context input.
-
-
-Work Practices
-==============
-
-I keep the kernel tree, the $P/pc/, $P/patches/ and $P/txt/ contents under
-CVS control.  This is important...
-
-I have several "series" files.  I keep these in $P/pc/foo-series and use
-
-	ln -s pc/foo-series series
-
-when I'm working on foo.
-
-If someone sends me a patch I'll do:
-
-	cp ~/whatever patches/his-patch.patch
-	pcpatch his-patch
-	apatch his-patch
-
-  If apatch fails then run `apatch -f his-patch' and fix the rejects.
-
-	refpatch
-
-  to clean up any fuzz.
-
-	poppatch
-	cvs add pc/his-patch.pc patches/his-patch.patch
-	cvs commit pc patches
-
-  Now edit ./series and place "his-patch.patch" in the appropriate place.
-
-
-If you're working on a particular patch (say, "dud-patch") and you
-balls something up, just run:
-
-	refpatch	# Generate the crap patch
-	poppatch	# Remove it all
-	rm patches/dud-patch.patch
-	cvs up patches/dud-patch.patch
-
-and all is well.
-
-
-Getting updates from Linus
-==========================
-
-What I do is to grab the latest -bk diff from
-http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/dwmw2/bk-2.5/
-and do:
-
-	gzip -d < cs<tab> > patches/linus.patch
-	pcpatch linus
-	apatch linus | grep diff
-
-               Now fix up all the files which got deleted,
-               because there's something wrong with bitkeeper diffs:
-
-	cvs up -ko <missing files from the above diff>
-
-	apatch linus
-	$EDITOR linus/linus.txt
-	
-		Add the changeset number to txt/linus.txt
-
-	refpatch
-	poppatch
-
-  Now add "linus.patch" as the first entry in your ./series file and
-  start pushing your other patches on top of that.
-
-BUGS
-====
-
-Tons and tons.  The scripts are fragile, the error handling is ungraceful and
-if you do something silly you can end up in a pickle.
-
-Generally the scripts are very careful to not wreck your files or your
-patches.  But they can get the ./applied-patches and ~-files into an
-awkward state.
-
-Usually you can sort it out by copying the ~-files back onto the originals
-and removing the last line from ./applied-patches.  Or do a "refpatch ;
-poppatch ; rm patches/troublesome-patch.patch ; cvs up patches".
-
-If it's really bad, just blow away the entire tree and do a new CVS checkout.
-
-
-Working on non-kernel projects
-==============================
-
-Well it's the same thing.  Say you've downloaded a copy of util-linux
-and you want to make a change:
-
-	cd /usr/src
-	tar xvfz ~/util-linux.tar.gz
-	cd util-linux
-	mkdir pc patches txt
-	fpatch my-patch sys-utils/rdev.c
-	fpatch sys-utils/ipcs.8
-	<edit, edit>
-	refpatch
-	<ship patches/my-patch.patch>
-
-How to balls things up
-======================
-
-Well here's one way.  Suppose you have 20 patches applied, and three of
-them (say, "p1", "p6" and "p11") all modify "foo.c".
-
-Now you go and change foo.c.
-
-Well, to which patch does that change belong?  You need to decide. 
-Let's say you decide "p6".
-
-If you run `refpatch' when "p11" is toppatch then you lose.  The diff
-went into p11.
-
-What you can do is:
-
-1:
-	poppatch p6
-	<edit>
-	refpatch
-	pushpatch p11
-	<test>
-
-  (See why ccache is looking good?)
-
-or
-
-2:
-	<edit>
-	<test>
-	poppatch p6	<hope like hell that the other patches remove cleanly>
-	refpatch
-
-
-Another good way of ballsing up is to cheat.  Say "oh I just want to make
-this one-line change".  And "oh, and this one".
-
-Now you're getting in a mess.  It's much, much better to just use the system:
-
-	fpatch junk file1
-	fpatch file2
-	<edit>
-	<play>
-	refpatch
-	poppatch
-	rm pc/junk.pc patches/junk.patch
-
-Merging with -mm kernels
-========================
-
-Haven't tried this, but it should work:
-
-- Grab all the patches from broken-out/, place them in your $P/patches/
-
-- Copy my series file into ./series (or $P/pc/akpm-series and symlink it)
-
-- pushpatch 99
-
-And you're off and running.  The nice thing about this is that you can
-send me incremental diffs to diffs which I already have.
-
-Or whatever.  I'm fairly handy with diffs nowadays.  Rejects are
-expected.  I just prefer to have "one concept per diff".
