You don't really write patches... you write code in the current code that's already there, and then you use diff to generate patches... this is very easy if you are using cvs to keep track of your code... cvs diff file.c (I like to use cvs diff -u but that's personal preferance). if you aren't using cvs then you have to keep a copy of the original source and do this diff -u file.c.orig file.c.modified Ken On Thu, 21 Nov 2002, Wilkinson,Alex wrote: > Howdy crew, > > Can someone point me to a paper that explains the process of > writing patches. > > Cheers > > - aW > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
