This folder contains my patches for various pkgsrc packages.
This README describes how to create and apply them.
= Modifying a package =
cd /usr/pkgsrc/path-to/package
make fetch
cd /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles
tar xf archived-package.tgz
cd extracted-package/
git init
I like tracking my modifications with Git, if only temporarily.
= Generating a patch =
cd /path-to/extracted-package/
git diff ... | conv -i
The resulting patch will be placed in ~/patches.
= Applying a patch =
Be sure to set the LOCALPATCHES variable in mk.conf:
echo LOCALPATCHES = $HOME/patches >> /etc/mk.conf
After that, local patches will be applied automatically, assuming
they are formatted correctly and placed in the correct directory.
= Undoing patches =
I haven't tried it yet, but the following command should work:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/path-to/package/work/
find . -name '*.orig' | while read f; do
mv "$f" "${f%.orig}"
done
It probably won't work if you've tried to apply patches twice, as
each do-patch theoretically presumably creates new .orig files.
= Rebuilding with new patch =
First, you may want to undo the old patches as described above.
make do-patch
make do-build
The first step will complain if patches have already been applied
(and not undone), but your new patch should be applied regardless.
