This package supports working with patch files using quilt.

To regenerate the quilt series file run:

./gen-quilt-series.sh

Setup environment:

export QUILT_PATCHES=$PWD

Setup the source:

./quilt-patch.sh [-f]

Use `-f` if you want to have quilt-patch always remove the existing

source directory before starting. Otherwise you'll be patching on top of

an already patched tree generated perhaps by `*pkg prep`.

To add a new patch:

Option 1: Create a new patch:

cd flex-2.6.1/

quilt new flex-rh1439367.patch

quilt add tests/test-bison-yylloc/parser.y

# edit tests/test-bison-yylloc/parser.y

# you may add and edit several files in the same fashion

Option 2: Add an already prepared patch (e.g. from an upstream commit):

cd flex-2.6.1/

quilt import -P flex-rh1439367.patch ~/backport/obsolete-bison.patch

quilt push # if this fails, manually deal with conflicts (as in Option 1)

Finally:

quilt refresh -p ab

cd ..

git add flex-rh1439367.patch

# edit flex.spec to build with the new patch

git add flex.spec

git commit

You're done!
