2 INFORMATION
3 ===========
4
5 This is a precompiled version of the "patch" standard tool for
6 Windows. It was compiled using the MSYS framework.
7
8 The binaries originate from the "Git for Windows 1.9.5" package
9 (https://msysgit.github.io/). The build instructions have been
10 provided on the discussion group of Git for Windows [1]. They are
11 copied/pasted below for reference.

30 BUILD INSTRUCTIONS [1]
31 ======================
32
33 The easiest way to find out about this is to install the Git SDK, then
34 run
35
36 pacman -Qu $(which patch.exe)
37
38 to find out which package contains the `patch.exe` binary. It so happens
39 to be patch.2.7.5-1 at the moment. Since this is an MSys2 package (not a
40 MinGW one, otherwise the patch utility would be in /mingw64/bin/, not
41 /usr/bin/), this package is built from the recipes in
42
43 https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages
44
45 The `patch` package is obviously built from the subdirectory
46
47 https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/tree/master/patch
48
49 and the PKGBUILD file specifies that the source is fetched from
50 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/patch/patch-2.7.5.tar.xz:
51
52 https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/blob/900744becd072f687029b0f830ab6fe95cf533d6/patch/PKGBUILD#L14
53
54 and then these two patches are applied before building:
55
56 https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/blob/900744becd072f687029b0f830ab6fe95cf533d6/patch/msys2-patch-2.7.1.patch
57
58 and
59
60 https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/blob/900744becd072f687029b0f830ab6fe95cf533d6/patch/msys2-patch-manifest.patch
61
62 As you can see, some light changes are applied, i.e. `patch.exe` will
63 always write in binary mode with MSys2, and the executable will have a
64 manifest embedded that allows it to run as non-administrator.
