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.
