To update a port I follow this procedure:
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. Exit send-pr without sending the Problem Report and note what filename it
saved the PR as (/tmp/????)
6. Cat your patch to the end of the PR
cat /tmp/mypr muuz.patch > muuz.pr
7. Execute send-pr with the PR file
send-pr -f muuz.pr
NOTE: You'll be asked to send/edit/abort the PR
8. Use edit to make changes to your PR
9. Use send to submit your PR
There's probably an easier way to generate and submit the PR, but I am not
sure what the vi command is to insert text from a file.
