First I am sorry if here is not the right place to ask it. I am trying to 
update a port but I am having a problem. I am in fact having problems while 
patch'ing my old port. Here is what I have done. 

#cp -r category/ports category/ports.old
#cd category/ports
<making changes>
#cd /usr/ports/category
#diff -ruN ports.old ports >patch 

I have 2 questions here.
1)I have to remove a directory from my port. How can I do that? I have rm 
 -fr /usr/ports/category/ports/files but it didn't work since patch didn't 
remove that directory. 

2)After patching ports with `patch < patch' i see files with *.orig but I 
think they shouldn't be there. 

I have read the porters' handbook of course. But I think there can be a 
ports' upgraders :) section too in that guide.
