.Dt FEEDBACK-PATCHES 1
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm feedback-patches
|
|
.Nd "help sending pkgsrc patches back"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar category/pkg
|
|
.Op maintainer@software.org
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
script is intended to help sending back patches in the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
Packages Collection, pkgsrc, back to the maintainers
|
|
of the original package, for inclusion into future releases.
|
|
The given
|
|
.Pa category/pkg
|
|
is either a path relative to the pkgsrc base directory,
|
|
or an absolute patch, which will be stripped the base
|
|
directory.
|
|
A pathname of
|
|
.Pa \&.
|
|
will be expanded to the current directory, which is useful
|
|
when the current working directory is in a package's
|
|
directory in pkgsrc.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The command:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl feedback-patches audio/gqmpeg
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will display a mail that can be sent to the gqmpeg people
|
|
with patches to include.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl feedback-patches somecat/dunno whoever@foobar.baz
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will invoke
|
|
.Xr mail 1
|
|
to send the patches back immediately.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl feedback-patches /usr/pkgsrc/somecat/dunno whoever@foobar.baz
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl cd .../category/pkg
|
|
.Dl feedback-patches `pwd` whoever@foobar.baz
|
|
.Pp
|
|
or
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl cd .../category/pkg
|
|
.Dl feedback-patches \ . whoever@foobar.baz
|
|

.Sh AUTHORS

|
The feedback-patches utility was written by
|
|
.An Hubert Feyrer Aq Mt hubertf@NetBSD.org .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Currently the pkgsrc base directory is hardcoded to
|
|
.Pa /usr/pkgsrc .
