Before I go about updating and maintaining these ports= I wanted to do some practice on a couple that I use like x11/nvidia-settin= gs. I have recieved alot of help on the forums and from the documentation, = but i'm still at a loss as to how the diff process works. [...] This is my personal workflow: 1. Take a simple copy of the port into my working directory 2. Get the port working in my working directory. 3. cd my-working-directory 4. diff -ruN /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-settings . > /tmp/nvidia-settings.patch 5. submit patch onto bugs.freebsd.org Hope that helps. --=20 Jonathan Chen <jonc@chen.org.nz>
