This seems to be easy enough using Richard's suggestion of 'ar'
archives for the patches.
Something arb like:
@if [ -e ${WRKDIR}/patches.ar ]; then \
mkdir ${WRKDIR}/.patches; \
(cd ${WRKDIR}/.patches && ar x ${MASTERDIR}/patches.ar); \
${ECHO_MSG} "===> Applying new-style ${OPSYS} patches for
${PKGNAME}" ;
\
for i in ${WRKDIR}/.patches/patch-*; do \
if [ ${PATCH_DEBUG_TMP} = yes ]; then \
${ECHO_MSG} "===> Applying new-style ${OPSYS} patch $$i" ; \
fi; \
${PATCH} ${PATCH_ARGS} < $$i; \
done; \
fi;
This is in the do-patch target, before the old-style patches. This
will also make it easier than a large mega-patch, as it applies
the patches individually (to take care of O'Brien's concern).
The 'ar' archives I generated were plain-text, and we just need
some tools to convert from old-style to new-style automatically
for the people who work on the ports.
