Debian patches to our mozilla-based applications

[Mike Hommey]

Hi,

I've been recently working on checking what patches are applied to what
mozilla-based applications, so that we can better see if there are
patches that are applied, for example, on icedove that should also be
applied to iceape and xulrunner, etc.

I've been trying to make it as much automated as possible, so I have a
shell script extracting data from the patches directory in an XML form
and a set of XSLT transformations to aggregate applications patches
information and make it a nice html table.

The result is here:
http://web.glandium.org/debian/teams/pkg-mozilla/mozpatches.html

The patches are ordered by ascending numbers in their name (that don't
show up because they are not necessarily the same on all applications,
which happens for config, for example, in which case the number is the
one from the first application I parsed, which was iceape)

This order is somehow good for iceape and xulrunner, which are using the
same numbering, but adding icedove makes it kind of worthless.

I still need to merge identical patches that are not detected as
identical, and track patches that should be identical but are not for
some reason (older on a package and not on the others, etc.), and,
biggest part, extract patch information for iceweasel.

If you have suggestions on presentation, please let me know.

Cheers,

Mike
