Hello,
I am new to the community, I am maintaining two packages and I would
like to check with you if there is a better workflow to do this.
The upstream project of the port I am maintaining is held in github, and
I also have patches in the /usr/ports/sysutils/myport/file/ folder.
So I keep a fork of the upstream project with a branch containing a
commit with the patches from the /usr/ports/sysutils/myport/file/.
Every time I need to update the port to a newer version, I do a git pull
in this branch, then I run a script [1] to re-generate the patches in
the /usr/ports/sysutils/myport/file/
This script basically generates a file.orig of all modified files in
git, then copy the modified file to WORK_DIR, then run make makepatch.
for file in ${CHANGES}; do
mv ${WORK_DIR}/${file} ${WORK_DIR}/${file}.orig
cp ${PROJECT_PATH}/${file} ${WORK_DIR}/${file}
done
make makepatch
I would like to know if there is a better way to do this (some tool that
I am not aware of?).
