[Peter Thompson]

Hi

    Hope it works better this time.   Thanks for advice and help.  Let me
know if any other changes are needed.

Below are my personal notes used to create the 3 patches

Step 1 - Git buildroot from github
----------------------------------
mkdir ~/Documents/git/buildroot/
cd ~/Documents/git/buildroot/
git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot

cd ~/Documents/git/buildroot/buildroot/
git status
git branch -a
git remote -v
git remote show origin


Step 2 - create 1 branch
-----------------------------------------
git checkout master     # recheck original
git branch sdl2suite
git branch -a            #
git branch
git status


Step 3 - create patch and commit x 3 (one per patch
-----------------------------------------
git checkout sdl2suite     #make changes see 09xpeterBuildrootPatchREADME
git add package/sdl2_image/Config.in        # p17-19 git pro book
git add package/sdl2_image/sdl2_image.mk
git add package/sdl2_image/sdl2_image.hash
git add package/Config.in
git add -A                 # adds all files - don't use here...
    make the changes (add 2 files plus change Config.in)
git status                # make sure you know what you are commiting
git commit -as            # -as=all modified files with signoff
    commit message =
sdl2_image: new package
sdl2_image created from sdl2_image with minor changes for sdl2


rm *~                     # get rid of junk

Step 4 create hash file
----------------------
download sdl2_image via firefox
cd ~/Downloads/FirefoxDownloads/
sha256sum SDL2_ttf-2.0.14.tar.gz  > sdl2_ttf.hash
     edit sdle_ttf.hash file as per below....
# Locally calculated
sha256 a5a69a6abf80bcce713fa873607735fe712f44276a7f048d60a61bb2f6b3c90c
SDL2-2.0.3.tar.gz
add sdl2_ttf.hash to sdl2suite branch


Step 5
------
repeat step 3,4 (3 times) for
sdl2_gfx
sdl2_image
sdl2_ttf

Step 6 submit

$ git fetch --all --tags    # update with latest buildroot version
$ git rebase origin/master    # redo my commits on latest buildroot version

        # -n = Name output in [PATCH n/m] format = [PATCH 1/1]
