| [[1]] {{{#1.} What would a patch plugin even be used for?}} |
| |
| * Answers |
| |
| {1.} In certain environments direct source modification is not |
| allowed so to make alterations to the source you need some patch |
| application process. This plugin seeks to address those situations. |
| |
| [[2]] {{{#2.} Why won't this work on windows?}} |
| |
| * Answers |
| |
| {1.} This patch wraps the gnu patch tool, which must be in your path |
| in order to function properly. You might able to get this plugin working |
| within cygwin. |
| |
| {2.} If you would like to add windows support to this plugin, please do and |
| submit modifications through the normal project mechansims. |
