About¶

The "Xeatre.TV VDR patches" project maintains a set of patches to the VDR which are used within Xeatre.TV.

Including a patch in your local GIT¶

The patches in the GIT repository of this project are based on the VDR Git tree maintaind by Skiller2k1 und Tadi.
(See http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/show/vdr or http://git.gekrumbel.de/vdr.git)

The first thing you have to do, is to clone the VDR GIT tree:

git clone git://projects.vdr-developer.org/vdr.git

or:

git clone git://git.gekrumbel.de/vdr.git

Now you must add a remote reference to the patch repository:

git remote add xeatre-patches git://projects.vdr-developer.org/xeatre-vdr-patches.git
    git fetch xeatre-patches

To get a specific patch do:

git checkout -b <local-branch-name-for-the-patch> xeatre-patches/<remote-branch-name>

e.g.:

git checkout -b xeatre/patches/xeatre/1.6/configurable-recorder-bufsize xeatre-patches/patches/xeatre/1.6/configurable-recorder-bufsize

Follow the steps described in "Including a patch in you local GIT".

Now create a branch for your improvements on a specific patch:

git checkout -b <local-patch-improvement-branch> xeatre-patches/<remote-branch-name>

e.g.:

git checkout -b my-improved-patch xeatre-patches/patches/xeatre/1.6/configurable-recorder-bufsize

Now add/test/commit your improvements and finally create a patch:

git format-patch xeatre-patches/<remote-branch-name>

e.g.

git format-patch xeatre-patches/patches/xeatre/1.6/configurable-recorder-bufsize

Now you can create a new issue in this projects issue tracker and attache the created patch.

Thanks a lot to Tadi for helping me to figure out the above GIT magic!
