How can I create and apply patches to Lazarus?
First problem is SVN, which does not allow for "incremental" patches,
i.e. a big patch cannot be split into smaller steps, as frequently
requested by the developers. Solutions?
Ask for an svn branch with write access.
Ask whom?
[I've already write access to the docs and examples directories, but
lost my passwords with my old machine]
Next problem are patches created by Git, which seem to be undecipherable
by TortoiseSVN "Apply patch..." on Windows. Which tools can be used, on
which platform, to apply diffs or patches? [see TabCtrl0/1.patch on
Mantis http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=19575].
svn-apply can be used to apply patches to svn created by git
format-patch:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/scripts/florian/unix/svn-apply
Tested on unix only.
How do I use it at all? On Windows?
In Ubuntu 10.4 I tried Kompare, which only damaged the working copy of
Lazarus (directories vanished...). The patches have been visualized
correctly until I tried Apply All - then the changes to a couple of
files were undone, and some files were stored in /tmp with meaningless
names, with a "cannot modify..." message. All affected directory trees
(e.g. lcl/) seem to have disappeared afterwards :-(
