Subject: [Building Sakai] Managing local patches

After chatting to a few people at the UK & Ireland Sakai Support Network
(UKISSN) meeting about maintaining local codebase modifications when
upgrading, I thought I'd mention Quilt, which I've found very useful for
this purpose.

It makes it very easy to maintain and update a stack of patches, just by
editing the files to be patched.

More info at:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt
http://www.suse.de/~agruen/quilt.pdf

Packages available for Ubuntu and MacPorts (and probably most other
Unix-like things).

I hope others find this useful.

All the best,
Jez
