Patch Maker 2.0pre2 has been released; get it from: http://www.gerv.net/software/patch-maker/
Patch Maker is a Perl script for managing patches. It has two separate but related functions - it can work in one of two modes. In Build mode, which is Mozilla-specific, you can make patches to Mozilla chrome without needing a CVS tree. This massively lowers the barrier to entry for bug fixing. http://www.gerv.net/software/patch-maker/build-mode.html In CVS mode, which is most generally applicable, Patch Maker manages and tracks multiple patches to a bit of software. It uses unique tags (patch references, e.g. bug numbers) to separate patches, knows what files are in each patch, and can perform operations on them. Basically, it speeds up by a factor of ten the process of creating, diffing, uploading, refreshing, and checking in a patch. http://www.gerv.net/software/patch-maker/cvs-mode.html Gerv
