This dir can be used to drop patches (normal diffs) to fixup
2
stuff that is problematic during the upgrade (like doc-base and
3
/usr/sbin/install-docs).
5
The files have the format _path_to_binary.md5sum
6
The upgrader will check for binaries with the matching md5sum and
7
apply the patches if the md5sum is correct (first --dry-run to
8
ensure it applies cleanly).
11
- it does *not* do binary patching
12
- the md5sum calculation in python is not efficient, so do
13
*not* patch huge files
