There isn't a script as such, just bunch of bash snippets in my bash
history.

There are forks of couple qt* repositories in github.com/meta-qt5 for
most modules which have many or more complicated patch files applied in
meta-qt5 recipes.

Then I rebase e.g. b5.7 branch in each of them, use git format-patch to
refresh the patches and update SRCREV in the recipe based on upstream
5.7 branch I've rebased on. Then at least build test all recipes in meta-qt5
(I use only small part of meta-qt5 on any devices I own).

Otavio said he will be working on next upgrade, I haven't seen any patch
yet, but maybe there is some wip on his side.

Similarly with 5.6.1 in krogoth branch, there was some incomplete
pull-request on github, but I haven't seen any patch on this ML yet.

I'm busy with some other stuff, so I don't plan to do it myself soon.

Regards,
