This package collects scripts used by the glibc maintainers.

Installation

Dependencies:

dnf install python3-pygit2

Link the most important scripts into ~/bin:

ln -sr glibc-patches-to-git.py $HOME/bin/glibc-patches-to-git
ln -sr glibc-git-to-patches.py $HOME/bin/glibc-git-to-patches
ln -sr glibc-backport-patch.py $HOME/bin/glibc-backport-patch
ln -sr glibc-sync-upstream.py $HOME/bin/glibc-sync-upstream

After this, for a fedpkg clone checkout of a compatible package, glibc-patches-to-git produces a *-patches subdirectory with a Git repository containing the patches, and glibc-git-to-patches syncs those changes back into the spec file and broken-out script files.
