Hi, The Porters Handbook says "To make fixes and upgrades easier, you should avoid having more than one patch fix the same file"; I'm in the reverse situation, e.g. I have to patch 4 files for adding a feature to a port. It will only make sense to patch all the files or none. Should the patch be split in 4 files or not ? I also want to use OPTIONS to allow the user to choose if he wants this feature or not. How can I integrate this with patch target (e.g. having the patch in files/ but only applied if WITH_ is set) ? -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user
