Description-en: generate/apply patch files with more functionality than plain diff
This package contains a pair of programs, makepatch and applypatch, to
assist in the generation and application of patch kits to synchronise
source trees.
.
makepatch knows about common conventions for patch kits (it generates
Index: and Prereq: lines, it patches patchlevel.h first, it can use
manifest files), plus it prepends some shell code which if run will
take care adding directories, removing files, setting execute mode on
scripts, and the like.
.
applypatch uses some extra data supplied by makepatch to verify both the
patch and the source directory before applying the patch. Afterwards it
will clean up the directory tree plus fix up the permissions and even
the timestamps on the patched files.
