-Description: Tool to work with series of patches
- Quilt manages a series of patches by keeping track of the changes
- each of them makes. They are logically organized as a stack, and you can
- apply, un-apply, refresh them easily by traveling into the stack (push/pop).
- .
- Quilt is good for managing additional patches applied to a package received
- as a tarball or maintained in another version control system. The stacked
- organization proved to be efficient for the management of very large patch
- sets (more than hundred patches). As matter of fact, it was designed by and
- for linux kernel hackers (Andrew Morton, from the -mm branch, is the
- original author), and its main use by the current upstream maintainer is to
- manage the (hundreds of) patches against the kernel made for the SUSE
- distribution.
- .
- This package completely integrates into the CDBS, allowing maintainers
- using this new paradigm for their packaging script to benefit of the quilt
- comfort when editing their diff against upstream. The package also provide
- some basic support for the fool not using CDBS (yet).
- .
- http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt is the current best approximation
- of an upstream homepage.
