+Developement - new Packets
+--------------------------
+When adding a new packet to ptxdist which requires a patch, you'd like
+to use $(call get_patches) and $(call patchin), but you can't, because
+the patch isn't in the public repository yet.

+adds a local repository called patches-local; patches in there are
+applied after those from the public repository.
