I don't have a system running -CURRENT just yet. I don't think you need a -CURRENT system to make changes to something like this. You can checkout the latest version using cvs, make changes to that version, then have cvs do the diff. These are the instructions Mike sent me (I'm doing some work on at(1) and running -STABLE): %%% # Use the FreeBSD anonymous CVS server setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs # Log into the server (password is anoncvs) cvs login # Checkout latest at(1) sources (creates a directory called `at') cvs checkout at # Go into that directory and make your modifications, or copy your # files from elsewhere cd at ; vi at.c # Get to the directory outside of `at' again cd .. # Make a diff cvs diff -uN at >at.diff %%% If you're doing something that needs current system libraries or kernel stuff, this probably won't work for you, but that's probably not an issue with stuff like at(1) and split(1).
