python-gnupg/patches

This patches folder is managed by quilt, which is a tool for automatic patch application and removal. To use quilt with the patches in this directory, navigate to the top level directory of this repository, and do:

$ quilt setup patches/series

To add an externally created patch (in other words, one created with diff --git or git diff), place that .patch or .diff file in this directory, and do:

$ quilt import patches/

Then, to apply the new patch, do:

$ quilt push

Removing patches from the stack can be done with:

$ quilt pop

Please see the man quilt(1) for more information on adding and importing new patches. The debian package maintainer guides also have chapters on quilt usage.
