I wonder what the odds are of a patch applying cleanly, compilation of
of dwm succeeding but actually breaking dwm in the process. I'm thinking
this could be automated by attempting to apply the patches to HEAD,
renaming the ones that succeed and still allow dwm to build then doing
"git reset --hard HEAD^" and repeating the process. Maybe stop at the
dwm commit that comes before the oldest patch's commit date. Maybe
something like this:
while ...; do
git_version="$(git log -1 --format=%h)"
for patch in *.diff; do
# Getting the name part might be a little tricky, but maybe
# it could be done by grepping for the patch path in the
# markdown files e.g.:
name="$(fgrep -m1 -l -w "$patch" *.md)"
name="${name%.md}"
if patch < "$patch" && make dwm; then
git mv "$patch" "dwm-$name-$git_version.diff"
fi
make clean
git reset --hard
done
git reset --hard HEAD^
done
Note that this is an example and doesn't take into account that the
"sites" repo and dwm wouldn't be in the same folder.
