Hello
I'm trying to work a port. I need to write a patchfile. I tried sevaral possibilities
diff (and and without option like -unR, especially -u) config.in.orig
config.in and placed it in teh files directory. Each time I do patch -p0 < patch-ah
(the name of the patch, it's OK). But as I try make patch. the system complains
about reversed patches previously applied. It's true, other previous patches have been
applied to the config.in file. What could I do ? In other terms, what is the good way
to write patch files for a port ?
