Arjun Shankar 2aa1cb2053 Include quilt tooling and convert patches to be used with quilt
This is not a functional change and merely adds quilt scripts and a README
explaining their usage. In addition, it rewrites patch levels to be in line
with the result of 'quilt refresh -p ab'. No source changes are involved and
the source files are identical.

This package supports working with patch files using quilt.
To regenerate the quilt series file run:
./gen-quilt-series.sh
Setup environment:
export QUILT_PATCHES=$PWD
Setup the source:
./quilt-patch.sh [-f]
Use `-f` if you want to have quilt-patch always remove the existing
source directory before starting. Otherwise you'll be patching on top of
an already patched tree generated perhaps by `*pkg prep`.
To add a new patch:
Option 1: Create a new patch:
cd flex-2.6.1/
quilt new flex-rh1439367.patch
quilt add tests/test-bison-yylloc/parser.y
# edit tests/test-bison-yylloc/parser.y
# you may add and edit several files in the same fashion
Option 2: Add an already prepared patch (e.g. from an upstream commit):
cd flex-2.6.1/
quilt import -P flex-rh1439367.patch ~/backport/obsolete-bison.patch
quilt push # if this fails, manually deal with conflicts (as in Option 1)
Finally:
quilt refresh -p ab
cd ..
git add flex-rh1439367.patch
# edit flex.spec to build with the new patch
git add flex.spec
git commit
You're done!
