The update-patches target is designed to make your life easier, not more difficult. However, keep the following in mind when creating patches:
Up until now, you had to create (and test) them manually. If you use this target, you'll have them at least created (and updated) automatically and pretty reliably. However, the form of patches which is actually superior is having thematic patches patching multiple files mul- tiple times, like 010-fix-build.patch, 020-add-feature1.patch, 030-add-feature2.patch, etc. Thus it is not recommended to rush over all packages etc. now with this new feature, because for example the kernel patches are probably not maintained inside the freewrt tree and thusly updating them is easier if they're kept in the current thematic theme. On the other hand, this is probably overkill for most of the simple changes we have in package/ so... feel free to play with it (and remind to not patch files into existence). bye, //mirabile -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them. If you don't believe in God, just consider God as Nature if you won't deny existence. -- Coywolf Qi Hunt _______________________________________________ freewrt-developers mailing list [email protected] https://www.freewrt.org/lists/listinfo/freewrt-developers
