Patch descriptions are very similar to configuration fragment
descriptions, which are described in the previous section.
However, instead of a .cfg
file, these
descriptions work with source patches.
A typical patch includes a description file and the patch itself:
patches/mypatch.scc: patch mypatch.patch patches/mypatch.patch: <typical-patch>
You can create the typical .patch
file using diff -Nurp
or
git format-patch
.
The description file can include multiple patch statements, one per patch.
