What's this?

This bunch of scripts run the patcher engine, a platform for porting security patches easily. Since it calls many Debian commands, it can only run in a Debian docker or enviroment. For the moment, it is written for Python 2. Help us porting it to Python 3!

Running the patcher

With local configuration. The file /app/patcher/demo-config.json contains a json build object, as you can get from here:

./patcher.py -c /app/patcher/demo-config.json

Remote fetching. It fetches the next waiting build from the server, using the connection token defined in the env TOKEN:

./patcher.py -f pkgName=botan1.10 dist=jessie 

Running dget.py

Downloads the Debian source of a particular package in a particular version.

./dget.py -p libgc -v 1:7.4.2-8 -d /app/patcher/cache/

Adapting a hunk

./patch_hunk.py cache/CVE-2016-9427/gc-7.2 cache/CVE-2016-9427/typd_mlc.c.0.patch --debug -c config.json
