I'm not sure if I did it in the right format. This is the command that I used: $ diff -uN Makefile.orig Makefile > dpkg-Makefile.patch I figured that I don't use the "make makepatch" for this instance because the changes have nothing to do with the source code. --- Comment #1 from Bugzilla Automation --- Auto-assigned to maintainer pawel@FreeBSD.org -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
