HELP: where does the winehq2ros.patch files used in comctl32 etc. fit into this?
I use them to keep track of differences between Wine and ReactOS. The merge process currently works like this:
a) Check if any changes were made to the ReactOS code since the last merge b) Copy new Wine code over to the corresponding ReactOS directory c) Patch using the winehq2ros.patch file d) If a) showed any differences, see if they are already present in the Wine code too, if not merge them back in, submit them to Wine (if appropriate), create a new winehq2ros.patch file e) Make everything work again f) Compile the changelog entry, crediting each Wine developer
Step f is by far the most time-consuming (and dull) part.
