Bug#424855: Apply patches up to a specific patch

[Wouter Verhelst <w@uter.be>]

Package: gcc-4.2
Version: 4.2-20070405
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Attached is a little makefile that will allow one to apply all patches
in the Debian gcc package up to a named patch.

Usage:

make -f patch-Makefile PATCH_TO=m68k-save_pic patch-to-specific

will apply all patches up to, but not including m68k-save_pic.

It'd be nice if this target would be incorporated into rules.patch or
some such.

include debian/rules.defs
include debian/rules.unpack
include debian/rules.patch

firsthalf=true

patch-to-specific: $(foreach patch, $(debian_patches),$(if $(firsthalf),$(if $(findstring $(PATCH_TO),$(patch)),$(eval firsthalf=),$(patch_stamp)-$(patch)),))
