Don't worry if patch doesn't remove the directory - committers have to explicitly "cvs remove" deleted files and directories. As the "Upgrading" sections of the Porter's handbook notes, be sure to mention any files added or deleted when sending the PR. > 2)After patching ports with `patch < patch' i see files with *.orig but I > think they shouldn't be there. patch(1) works this way - it doesn't matter. > I have read the porters' handbook of course. But I think there can be a > ports' upgraders :) section too in that guide. There is - section 14, "Upgrading". However, it could contain more information or possibly be written more clearly. If you have any suggestions on how to improve it, please let us know. Thanks, Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
