Update Procedure

To create this fork, the relevant patches were downloaded, and each was applied using the following command from the root of the repository:

patch --merge -i <patch name>.diff

Failed changes were then manually remediated. A failure is marked by >>>> or <<<< within the target file. The tailored changes were then saved into the patches folder using the following command:

git diff > ./patches/<xx-name>.patch

Where xx is an incremental index that defines the sequence in which the patches must be applied.

The changes can be applied to a fresh pull of the st repo by running:

git apply ./patches/*
