From there, they +are bundled up into a tar archive that is distributed via the Gentoo +mirroring system. Specific information about the patches can usually +be found at the top of each patch. + +The patches are kept in the "patchsets" branch of the repository at: + git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/emacs-tools.git + http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/emacs-tools.git + +Patch naming follows this convention: + <number>_<arch>_<description>.patch +The <number> is used for consistent patch ordering. The <arch> field +corresponds to the host architecture, or has a value of "all" if the +patch should be applied for everyone. (Using values other than "all" +is strongly discouraged.) |
