Hi folks, I have my own personal taste when it comes to creating diffs to be applied to the local source tree after a CVSup. Since patch can skip cruft at the beginning of a diff, I like to include in the file some text before the actual diff, explaining what this patch hopes to achieve. There's a sample of one such file attached to the bottom of this message, in case I haven't managed to explain myself clearly. I'd like to know how the PortsMeisters feel about my doing this for ports submissions. The gain is that users and future tinkers alike will be able to see, at a glance, what a patch is supposed to do. The loss is in disk space. What's the verdict? Ciao, Sheldon. /root/localmods/ports/diffs/nmh.mts.diff: -------- I do not want nmh to establish an SMTP connection to localhost when delivering mail.
