The .diff file is the patch file. To apply the patch manually, you
need to use the patch program as follows:
cd <cyrus imap src>
patch [-p 1] < patch_file.diff
I you want to have the port patch the sources, then you need to edit
the ports Makefile and do the following:
1. Add the location of the patch to PATCH_SITES
2. The name of the patch file to PATCHFILES
3. Add approiate CONFIGURE_ARGS, if needed
4. Run "make makesum" to regenerate distinfo.
5. Run "make patch -DPATCH_DEBUG"
- needed to ensure that all the patch files apply correctly
- if a patch file fails, you'll need to fix the patch file, and
re-run step 5.
6. Run "make configure"
7. Run "env PREFIX=/usr/local2; make build"
8. Run "env PREFIX=/usr/local2; make install"
9. Run "env PREFIX=/usr/local2; make deinstall", to ensure no files
are left over
- if there are left over files, fix pkg-plist.
NOTE: if any of the steps fails, you'll need to fix, and then "make
clean" and start over with step 5.
