12 You folks have convinced me that the old patchlist was almost the
13 right way to go for mutt identifying what patches have been applied.
15 Thus, I've implemented this scheme (and will commit it to the CVS
16 in a moment): There's a new file called PATCHES in the source tree,
17 which will be empty in the official distribution.
19 This file's format is one patch ID per line. Patch IDs should be
20 the same as the file names used for distributing patches. The
21 format for these file names should be this:
23 patch-<version>.<initials>.<patch-description>.<patchlevel>
25 That is, Vsevolod's NNTP patch for mutt-1.3.42 could be named like
28 patch-1.3.42.vvv.nntp.1
30 From PATCHES, patchlist.c will be automatically generated. In
31 order to properly construct PATCHES, please include the following
32 chunk with your patch, replacing <your-id-here> by your patch ID.

35 --- PATCHES~ Tue Nov 6 19:59:33 2001
36 +++ PATCHES Tue Nov 6 19:59:42 2001

41 The patch IDs will be displayed when mutt is run with the 'v'
