Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

Patching Features

(1/2) > >>

I wrote a couple features for my rockbox that are just some things I like, not really valuable to the total build. Everytime I want to upgrade to a new firmware I have to go back into the code and add all the stuff for my aditional features.  What would be  the best process to be able to just apply my changes to newer code.

Thanks

I'm not quite sure what you are asking.

Obviously every time you want to upgrade you need to compile a new build.  If you are using svn, when you svn up it should try to sync your changes with the updated source, and you can then compile.  Unless there is a clash you should not need to reapply (patch) your changes to the soure every time.

Rcdude10tc32:
no you totally got it, thats basically the solution. I've been reading about SVN and i'm not using it yet. I've just been downloading the lastest source and using a text editor.   I didn't know it auto-updates your code, thats actually really awesome.  Thanks alot

I would thoroughly recommend using SVN over downloading the source, it is so much more powerful.  What operating system are you on?

psycho_maniac:
yeah using "svn up" is so much easier. all i have to do is go to my rockbox directory type "svn up" then when thats done go to my buld folder and run the make && make zip.
