Core Patchs

Patch Report is a special report dedicated to Moodle integrators that want to
track and maintain core patchs for customers, and facilitate global upgrade of patched
codebases.

The report scans the whole code base for special markers that will tag patch start
and patch end in core code.

It will display all patch reference and locations.

How to operate
##############

The Patch Report works :

• if patches are properly tagged with a parsable start and end mark (defaults to "// PATCH : some reason" and "// /PATCH")


• if marks are properly setup as RegExps in settings.

When this setup is fine, go to the report and hit the "scan" button at the end of the page. Note that this scan can take some
...... time.

Patchs will be listed with :

• File name


• Start line


• End line


• Purpose (reason)

And will be sortable by reason (interesting to be consistant here therefore !) or by source file.
Note that contributed code and non-core code will also be scanned.
