ferrypicker

Apply patches from Fedora dist git to different components.

This simple tool does 3 steps:

1. download patch file from src.fedoraproject.org
2. replaces package name with current dist-git work dir package name
3. runs git am --reject on the product

Usage:

[python36 (f32 %)]$ git switch -c f32-backport
Switched to a new branch 'f32-backport'

[python36 (f32-backport %)]$ ferrypick https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3.6/pull-request/2
Downloading https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3.6/pull-request/2.patch
