Re: How do I make a patch?

[Jack Coates <jack monkeynoodle org>]

No idea how CVS affects this, but basically:

download the source and make a copy:
/usr/local/src/
	balsa-ver-orig/
	balsa-ver-mine/

Make any edits in balsa-ver-mine/, then diff the two directories:

cd /usr/local/src/
diff -rU balsa-ver-orig/ balsa-ver-mine > my-balsa-patch

mail my-balsa-patch to the list.

IANACP (C Programmer), but this is the process I use for patching
shell-scripts.
