Hi all,
Do you write patches for different programs? Don't you know where to
put
them in so it’s actually easy to view the interesting ones? Does it
bother you
not knowing which ones are already applied upstream, or which version
the
apply cleanly to? Does it bother you not being able to easily publish
and
share them?
Let me introduce... the PatchServer!
PatchServer is a small Ruby on Rails app designed to store patches:
you
upload them to the server, and then you can:
- View their associated data, like the upstream version they're
written
for, the program they apply to, description and related patches
- View them color-highlighted! (thanks to Jamis B.'s Syntax
library)
- View their history (yes, you can have several versions of the same
patch)
- View all the patches for a given program, all the unapplied ones
- Search your patches
- Subscribe to a general RSS feed or to per-program RSS feeds
- And more!
It is still rough on the edges, but it’s usable and I will like to
receive
feedback from interested parties. I have just registered the project in
RubyForge, as “patch-server”, so you have:

The code is in Darcs, at http://www.demiurgo.org/darcs/patch_server/ ,
so
getting it is a matter of:
darcs get http://www.demiurgo.org/darcs/patch_server/
