Patch Updater

From DSpace Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a simple Python script that takes a patch intended for DSpace <=1.4.x, and updates it so it can be applied to DSpace post-code reorganisation.

If --multi is specified, the input patch is rewritten as several individual patches that can be applied to individual add-ons from within Eclipse.

e.g.: 

update-patch.py my_old_patch --output=my_new_patch

might result in: 

my_new_patch-dspace
my_new_patch-dspace-api
my_new_patch-dspace-jspui

Otherwise, the updated patch file should be applied to the parent of the add-ons (i.e. the directory containing dspace, dspace-api, dspace-jspui, etc.)

Use --trim parameter to specify the number of path segments in the original patch file to trim from the start of file locations. e.g. if your patch file patched dspace-1.4.2-source/bin/xxx you would specify --trim=1 to trim the dspace-1.4.2-source.

Note: Only works with unified format diffs
