diff2patches - Man Page
Extract non-debian/ patches from .diff.gz files
Syntax
Description
Extracts patches from .diff.gz which apply to files outside the “debian/” directory scope. A patch is created for each modified file. Each patch is named according to the path of the modified file, with “/” replaced by “___”, and an extension of “.patch”.
Options
- filename
Extract patches from filename which apply outside the “debian/” directory.
- --help
Output help information and exit.
- --version
Output version information and exit.
Files
- debian/control
Existence of this file is tested before any patch is extracted.
- debian/
- debian/patches/
Patches are extracted to one of these directories. “debian/patches/” is preferred, if it exists. If DEB_PATCHES is present in the environment, it will override this behavior (see “Environment Variables” section below).
Environment Variables
- DEB_PATCHES
When defined and points to an existing directory, patches are extracted in that directory and not under “debian/” nor “debian/patches/”.
