    [                Version: 0.0.5                                    ]
    [                 Author: mod6 [R.01]                              ]

Introduction]:
      Vpatches are created and maintained with `V'.  Since its inception in
      2015, there have been a variety of implementations of V software.  This
      document will focus on utilizing diana_coman's [R.02] `Starter V (version
      2)' [R.03] [R.04] for creating, naming, and submitting a vpatch.

0x00] Creating the Patch:

      With all of the signed vpatches from The Bitcoin Foundation applied via
      `V', follow these next steps to copy over the `pressed' source so you
      can make the changes for your patch (in directory `b') and then output the
      vpatch of the changes with `vdiff'.

      mkdir -p a b
      cp -pr bitcoin a && cp -pr bitcoin b

      Now that you have the patched source copied into ``a'' and ``b'':

      cd b

      Now, make your changes to the code as necessary in directory `b'.

      NOTE:  No PGP clearsigned material in vpatches.  Also, no '--- ' or '+++ '
      as the first four characters of any line.  You have been warned! [R.05].

0x01] Naming and Numbering the Vpatch:

      Once the code changes are complete, create a vdiff of the changes:

      vdiff a b > patchname.vpatch

      [ Example ]:
      vdiff a b > mod6_fix_dumpblock_params.vpatch

0x02] Signing the Patch:

      The Bitcoin Foundation requires that you use a PGP Detached Signature to
      sign your vpatch file.

      Sign the vpatch as follows with strict adherence to the nomenclature:

      gpg --armor --output <vpatch_name>.vpatch.<wot_uid>.sig \
      --detach-sig <vpatch_name>.vpatch

      [ Example ]:
      gpg --armor --output mod6_fix_dumpblock_params.vpatch.mod6.sig \
      --detach-sig mod6_fix_dumpblock_params.vpatch

0x03] Submitting the Patch

      Create a blog article with your vpatch along with your signature of the
      vpatch.
