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.
Yours
Olaf Martens
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

Or just let the files be managed by a half-SCM: http://users.suse.com/~agruen/quilt.pdf Much less error prone.
Good to know !

I've used darix's quick and simple quilt guide for many years, distils the pdf mentioned by Jan to something a simpleton like me can concentrate on :) http://nordisch.org/2009/3/20/quilt-a-really-quick-howto
