| Usage |
| |
| The Patch Plugin attempts to use the {{{http://www.gnu.org/software/patch/}GNU patch tool}} to apply patch files |
| to source code. It can be configured to apply patch files from any number of |
| directories with a number of different policies including strict patching where |
| you must declare all patches in the plugin configuration to a natural order processing |
| which will apply all patching in a directory following a natural string sorted order. |
| |
| This plugin is most commonly used during the <<<process-sources>>> phase of the default build lifecycle: |
