[opensuse-packaging] How to create a .patch file?
Good day! Sorry for asking again (unfortunately this is my very first attempt in patching something), but right now I'm stuck with creating the actual patch file. Somehow just running a diff over the old and new versions of the script doesn't yield anything that seems to be useful for patching, though... I already have done a checkout of Postgrey and also have disassembled the package, but now I'm stuck at generating the actual patch... Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi : The step : - Make a copy of the file to patch cp file file.orig - Modify the file vim/nano/... file - Create the patch with diff diff -u file.orig filetopach > file.patch Regards Le 24/02/2015 11:45, Olaf Martens a écrit :

Or just let the files be managed by a half-SCM: http://users.suse.com/~agruen/quilt.pdf Much less error prone. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
