From roessler@does-not-exist.org Wed Nov 7 11:49:56 2001 Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2001 11:49:56 +0100 From: Thomas Roessler To: mutt-dev@mutt.org Subject: To those shipping patches (v2) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Status: RO Content-Length: 1273 Lines: 34 You folks have convinced me that the old patchlist was almost the right way to go for mutt identifying what patches have been applied. Thus, I've implemented this scheme (and will commit it to the CVS in a moment): There's a new file called PATCHES in the source tree, which will be empty in the official distribution. This file's format is one patch ID per line. Patch IDs should be the same as the file names used for distributing patches. The format for these file names should be this: patch-... That is, Vsevolod's NNTP patch for mutt-1.3.42 could be named like this: patch-1.3.42.vvv.nntp.1 From PATCHES, patchlist.c will be automatically generated. In order to properly construct PATCHES, please include the following chunk with your patch, replacing by your patch ID. ------------------------------snip------------------------------ --- PATCHES~ Tue Nov 6 19:59:33 2001 +++ PATCHES Tue Nov 6 19:59:42 2001 @@ -1,0 +1 @@ + ------------------------------snip------------------------------ The patch IDs will be displayed when mutt is run with the 'v' command line switch. -- Thomas Roessler http://log.does-not-exist.org/
