2010/9/8 Daniel P. Berrange <berrange(a)redhat.com>:
When maintaining a proper GIT branch against upstream and cherry
picking
patches, the fact that you might end up with 100's of patches is not
really a burden anymore. GIT does all the hardwork for you. You can
automate patchfile creation with git format-patch, and a simple script
can munge the RPM spec to add the neccessary Patch: & %patch lines
and %changelogs based off the GIT commit summary line for each patch.
You could also use topgit [1], which really eases the process of
maintaining a set of patches (which might depend on each other)
against some upstream branches.
Btw, topgit is awaiting review [2] ;)

Thomas
