Updating HaikuPorter .recipes (and what to do when applying the .patchset fails).

An example-based, step-by-step guide.

# Let's start! (from the git repo on the work-dir for "package_name-1.2.3"):
> git am ../../../patches/<package_name-1.2.3.patchset>

Make sure VM's OS type is set to Linux 64 bits.
On the VM's Settings -> Display, make sure "Graphics Controller" is "VMSVGA". 32 MB of "Video Memory" should be enough.
On Haiku, run "pkgman install vmware_addons", reboot.
Change resolution as you wish from the Screen preflet.

You should now be able to change modes as you like.

To make sure VirtualBox starts in the resolution you want:

	# Changes over the original:
	#
	# + Support both Python 2 & 3.
	# * fixed location of bitrate parameters.
	# * Fixed track duration so it does't cuts tracks short, nor starts them early
	# (Margin of error for .flac source files should at most be around +/- 0.013 secs).
	# + Added pre_gap support.

	# Poor-man's pidof replacement for Haiku
	#
	# Usage: > pidof <ProcessName>


	if [ "$#" -eq "1" ] ; then
	ps -o Id Team \| grep $1 \| grep -v 'grep' \| grep -v 'pidof' \| grep -o '[0-9]*'

	"""
	Test bench for Haiku's `pidof` command.

	Requires at least Python 3.5 (for subprocess.run()).

	Usage:
	python3 test_pidof.py [path_to_pidof]

	If no "path_to_pidof" is given, the one in $PATH, if any, will be used.

	patchset_split.py

	Based on Paolo Bonzini's mbox_split.py:

	"""
	Proof of concept for `pkgman search --not-required`.

	The idea is very simple.

	- Get the list of installed packages.
	- From that, builds a list of all unique requirements.
	- Print the list of packages that do not provide any of those requirements.

	#!python3

	"""
	Compares the contents (disregarding files' sizes and timestamps) of Haiku packages (.hpkg).

	Useful to see, at first glance, if our newly built package looks more or less like the older ones.

	Usage:
	> compare_packages.py <package_name>
	> compare_packages.py <package1.hpkg> <package2.hpkg>
