Creating and Managing Patches

quilt is used for managing multiple patches. Here's a rough guide on using it.

Prerequisites

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/lah7/gtk3-classic
cd gtk3-classic

Download and extract GTK's source code

source PKGBUILD
wget "https://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/${pkgver%.*}/gtk+-$_gtkver.tar.xz"
tar -xJf gtk+-$_gtkver.tar.xz

Tell quilt where the patches are stored
```
cd gtk*
export QUILT_PATCHES=../
```

Apply all existing patches first
```
quilt push -a
```
Create the patch - see existing patches for suggested naming convention.
```
quilt new name_of_new.patch
```
Tell quilt which file(s) you wish to change.
```
quilt add gtk/gtkentry.c
```
Modify the file(s)
Confirm the diff looks good
```
quilt diff
```
Save the patch
```
quilt refresh
```
If this is to be proposed to our repository: Use git to commit, push to your fork and open a pull request.

Repeat this command until you reach the desired patch to modify.
```
quilt push
```
For a reminder where you are in the series:
```
quilt series
```
Modify the source code with the desired changes
Save the changes
```
quilt refresh
```
If this is to be proposed to our repository: Use git to commit, push to your fork and open a pull request.

Unpatch everything in source code
```
quilt pop -a
```
Patch everything in source code
```
quilt push -a
```
List all patches and current patch
```
quilt series
```
Refresh current patch. Useful for different GTK versions, but watch out for "fuzzy" changes as they could potentially be lost.
```
quilt refresh
```
