%While it's easy to pick up straightforward uses of Mercurial Queues,
%use of a little discipline and some of MQ's less frequently used
%capabilities makes it possible to work in complicated development
%environments.

%In this chapter, I will use as an example a technique I have used to
%manage the development of an Infiniband device driver for the Linux
%kernel.  The driver in question is large (at least as drivers go),
%with 25,000 lines of code spread across 35 source files.  It is
%maintained by a small team of developers.

%The Linux kernel changes rapidly, and has never been internally

%This means that a version of the driver that works well with a

%\subsection{Tempting approaches that don't work well}

%There are two ``standard'' ways to maintain a piece of software that

%The first is to maintain a number of branches, each intended for a
%single target.  The trouble with this approach is that you must
%maintain iron discipline in the flow of changes between repositories.
%A new feature or bug fix must start life in a ``pristine'' repository,
%then percolate out to every backport repository.  Backport changes are
%more limited in the branches they should propagate to; a backport
%change that is applied to a branch where it doesn't belong will
%probably stop the driver from compiling.

%The second is to maintain a single source tree filled with conditional
%statements that turn chunks of code on or off depending on the
%intended target.  Because these ``ifdefs'' are not allowed in the
%Linux kernel tree, a manual or automatic process must be followed to
%strip them out and yield a clean tree.  A code base maintained in this
%fashion rapidly becomes a rat's nest of conditional blocks that are
%difficult to understand and maintain.

%Neither of these approaches is well suited to a situation where you
%don't ``own'' the canonical copy of a source tree.  In the case of a

%Linux driver that is distributed with the standard kernel, Linus's
%tree contains the copy of the code that will be treated by the world

%Perhaps the best way to maintain sanity with so many targets is to be
%able to choose specific patches to apply for a given situation.  MQ
%provides a feature called ``guards'' (which originates with quilt's
%\texttt{guards} command) that does just this.  To start off, let's
%create a simple repository for experimenting in.

%In working on the device driver I mentioned earlier, I don't apply the

%\subsection{The art of writing backport patches}
\subsection{$B%P%C%/%]!<%H%Q%C%A$r=q$/5;=Q(B}

%Using MQ, writing a backport patch is a simple process.  All such a
%patch has to do is modify a piece of code that uses a kernel feature
%not present in the older version of the kernel, so that the driver
%continues to work correctly under that older version.

MQ$B$r;H$C$F%P%C%/%]!<%H%Q%C%A$r=q$/$N$OC1=c$J:n6H$G$"$k!%$=$N$h$&$J%Q%C%A(B

$B$1$G$"$k!%(B

%A useful goal when writing a good backport patch is to make your code
%look as if it was written for the older version of the kernel you're
%targeting.  The less obtrusive the patch, the easier it will be to
%understand and maintain.  If you're writing a collection of backport
%patches to avoid the ``rat's nest'' effect of lots of
%\texttt{\#ifdef}s (hunks of source code that are only used
%conditionally) in your code, don't introduce version-dependent
%\texttt{\#ifdef}s into the patches.  Instead, write several patches,
%each of which makes unconditional changes, and control their
%application using guards.

%There are two reasons to divide backport patches into a distinct

%The first is that intermingling the two makes it more difficult to use
%a tool like the \hgext{patchbomb} extension to automate the process of

%a backport patch could perturb the context in which a subsequent

%If you're developing a set of patches over a long time, it's a good
%idea to maintain them in a repository, as discussed in
%section~\ref{sec:mq:repo}.  If you do so, you'll quickly discover that
%using the \hgcmd{diff} command to look at the history of changes to a
%patch is unworkable.  This is in part because you're looking at the
%second derivative of the real code (a diff of a diff), but also
%because MQ adds noise to the process by modifying time stamps and
%directory names when it updates a patch.

%However, you can use the \hgext{extdiff} extension, which is bundled
%with Mercurial, to turn a diff of two versions of a patch into
%something readable.  To do this, you will need a third-party package
%called \package{patchutils}~\cite{web:patchutils}.  This provides a
%command named \command{interdiff}, which shows the differences between
%two diffs as a diff.  Used on two versions of the same diff, it
%generates a diff that represents the diff from the first to the second
%version.
