This highly unoptimized Q&D script will list patches not referenced anywhere
(will barf on filenames with spaces, but typically there are none such files ):
$1 = filoder to (recursively) check, i.e called from meta: ./recipes-devtools
#!/bin/bash
findpatchesall=`find $1 -name '*.patch' -exec readlink -f {} \;`
findall=`find -L $1 -name '*.*' -not -name "*.patch" -exec readlink -f {} \;`
echo "patches: $findpatchesall"
echo "recipes: $findall"
# Go through all patches and see if any file references them
for patch in $findpatchesall
do
#echo "checking $patch"
patch_referenced="0"
for file1 in $findall
do
patch1=`basename $patch`
if [ -f "$file1" ]; then
if grep -q $patch1 "$file1"; then
#echo "referenced in: $file1"
patch_referenced="1"
fi
fi
done
if [ "$patch_referenced" == "0" ]; then
echo "*** $patch ***"
fi
done
