FEEDBACK-PATCHES(1) NetBSD General Commands Manual FEEDBACK-PATCHES(1)
NNAAMMEE
ffeeeeddbbaacckk--ppaattcchheess -- help sending pkgsrc patches back
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
ffeeeeddbbaacckk--ppaattcchheess _c_a_t_e_g_o_r_y_/_p_k_g [maintainer@software.org]
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
The ffeeeeddbbaacckk--ppaattcchheess script is intended to help sending back patches in
the NetBSD Packages Collection, pkgsrc, back to the maintainers of the
original package, for inclusion into future releases. The given
_c_a_t_e_g_o_r_y_/_p_k_g is either a path relative to the pkgsrc base directory, or
an absolute patch, which will be stripped the base directory. A pathname
of _. will be expanded to the current directory, which is useful when the
current working directory is in a package's directory in pkgsrc.
If an email address is given, the patches will be sent to that address,
with some nice words. If no email address is given, the mail will only be
displayed instead of sent.
EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS
The command:
feedback-patches audio/gqmpeg
will display a mail that can be sent to the gqmpeg people with patches to
include.
feedback-patches somecat/dunno whoever@foobar.baz
will invoke mail(1) to send the patches back immediately.
feedback-patches /usr/pkgsrc/somecat/dunno whoever@foobar.baz
works just as well, you can use either full path or path relative to
pkgsrc base when specifying a package. As you're usually already in the
pkg's directory for finding out the contact address (probably by looking
at the HOMEPAGE variable in the pkg's Makefile), you can also do:
cd .../category/pkg
feedback-patches `pwd` whoever@foobar.baz
or
cd .../category/pkg
feedback-patches . whoever@foobar.baz
SSEEEE AALLSSOO
pkgdiff(1), mkpatches(1)
AAUUTTHHOORRSS
The feedback-patches utility was written by Hubert Feyrer
<hubertf@NetBSD.org>.
BBUUGGSS
Currently the pkgsrc base directory is hardcoded to _/_u_s_r_/_p_k_g_s_r_c.
