This is mostly true +for non-Debian-based systems. + +Patch numbering scheme: +----------------------- + +The patch naming scheme is about ordering patches by names and +categories. All patches shall be prefixed with a number: + +0xxx: Mesa upstream backports +1xxx: Patches that might be interesting for Mesa upstream +2xxx: Distro specific patches (not applicable here, probably) +3xxx: Security / CVE fixes for Mesa (probably obtained from upstream) +4xxx: Patches that are needed to make Mesa work/build with/against nx-libs +5xxx: Patches that silence compiler warnings + +The "series" file within the Mesa.patches directory defines the order of +patch application. + +The patch names in the "series" file do not necessarily need to be in +alpha-numerical order. Patch application order is about code and +functionality, That is, patches in one category are allowed to depend +upon patches in another category, even if the subsequent digits are not +strictly ascending. |
