README

This is a simple plugin to help applying patches that modify the module.info.yml of a drupal module, for example the Drupal 10 compatibility patches created by Drupal rector.

Requirements

This plugin listens to the patch events from the https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches plugin so it is only useful when this plugin is added as well.

Why is this needed?

The Drupal packaging script adds information at the end of the module.info.yml file when generating the archive for distribution.

Example:

# Information added by Drupal.org packaging script on 2022-11-07
version: '8.x-1.3'
project: 'my_module'
datestamp: 1667786708

That prevents applying cleanly the patches that modify the module.info.yml for example to change the core_version_requirement (Drupal 9 -> Drupal 10 upgrade).

What does it do?

This plugin simply listens to the patch events from the cweagans/composer-patches plugin and before the patch is applied, remove and store the info added by the Drupal packaging script and add it back after the patch is applied.
