Quilt is a set of scripts that allows to manage a series of patches by
|
||
|
|
keeping track of the changes each patch makes. Patches can be applied,
|
||
|
|
un-applied, refreshed, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The key philosophical concept is that your primary output is patches.
|
||
|
|
Not ".c" files, not ".h" files. But patches. So patches are the
|
||
|
|
first-class object here.
|

Quilt was originally based on Andrew Morton's patch scripts published on
|
||
|
|
the Linux kernel mailing list a while ago, but were heavily modified
|
||
|
|
since then.
