> According to Scot W. Hetzel:

Patrick Seal sugested another way to insert the patch.  I have amended the
procedure as follows:

> > 1. Make a copy of the original port (muuz)
> >
> >     cp -rp muuz muuz.orig
> >
> > 2. Make changes to port (muuz)
> >
> > 3. Create a diff between the original and the changed version.
> >
> >     diff -ruN muuz.orig muuz > muuz.patch
> >
> > 4. Use send-pr to create Problem Report
> >

5. Move to the end of the PR (after 'Fix:') and insert your patch (vi
command) (As sugested by Patrick Seal)

:r muuz.patch

6. Quit out of the editor (vi), you'll then be asked to send, edit or abort
the PR.
