[ Apologies if this is a duplicate posting: I'm having a couple of issues
with my gateway ]
Just fixed an issue in a port, and am preparing a patch to send to the
maintainer.
The relevant source file is already the subject of an existing patch in the
port distribution.
I'm a bit uncertain how to create my patch, in order to be maximally helpful
to the maintainer.
Options:
(a) diff {final version of source} versus {original unpatched version of
source}
(b) diff {final version of source} versus {source plus existing patch}
... or should I send an amended version of the existing patch, to also
include my changes?
I assume that diff -rupN is the preferred format - correct?
Anything else I should bear in mind? (I'm aready working from the HEAD
version on CVS)
Kind regards, MARTIN
