I've found it hard to read existing patches:
- Patch files were named inconsistently
- Context lines were out of date
- Dates were bogus
- Context lacked C function
- One patch was in context diff format

Can you say the same about this port?

- 1.2.1 is from ~19 years ago
- 1.2.1-35 patch is from ~15 years ago
