EXAMPLES

Edit the 021_debian patch of Heimdal:

~/heimdal-0.3d> dbs-edit-patch -t/tmp 021_debian
Extracting source heimdal-0.3d.tar.gz ... successful.
Applying patch 001_replay ... successful.
etc.
Copying heimdal-0.3d to heimdal-0.3d-old ... successful.
Applying patch 021_debian ... successful.

Edit files under /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d as required, then execute /tmp/021_debian/dbs_update_patch to save the results. Technote: dbs-edit-patch extracts all patches before 021_debian into /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d, copies the result to /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d-old, and applies the last patch 021_debian (if it exists). Also, it creates a shell archive which will create the diff between the old and new directories:

~/heimdal-0.3d> ls -l /tmp/021_debian 
total 12
-rwxr-xr-x    1 bam      users         112 Jan 31 13:31 dbs-update-patch*
drwxr-xr-x   14 bam      users        4096 Jan 31 13:31 heimdal-0.3d/
drwxr-xr-x   14 bam      users        4096 Jan 31 13:31 heimdal-0.3d-old/

~/heimdal-0.3d> cat /tmp/021_debian/dbs-update-patch
#!/bin/sh
diff -ruN /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d /tmp/021_debian/heimdal-0.3d-old > ./debian/patches/021_debian
