My poor try to create a script that helps refactoring the patch directories for Armbian (kernel) patches.
Well if refactoring them by hand take forever I can use the same amount of time to create a script that does the job for me....which will probably take forever as well. So everything is good.
Python 3.8.2or higher (did not test any other version)- via apt:
patchutils
- Backup your patch folder.
- Put the
refactor.pyin the folder above your patch folder (not inside!). - Run it.
- Follow the instructions.
- Did you backup your patch folder?

I can filter this list and show only files that are
target of multiple patches so you could merge them.
Should I do that? (y/n) y
