--==========B191D5C3474F2127A6B9========== Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline I'm working on a port upgrade. The existing port has a number of patch=20 files in FILESDIR that are no longer needed. (The changes they made have=20 been incorporated into the distro.) What's the appropriate way to submit=20 those changes? Normally, a send-pr submission will contain the patches for = existing port files. There is no patch for these. They need to be = removed. I could do this: diff -Naur files/original_patch_file files/empty_file,=20 but I don't know if that removes the file or simply replaces it with an=20 empty one. --=20 Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ --==========B191D5C3474F2127A6B9==========--
