[Firebird-devel] Re: gbak enhacements, how to include?

[Mark O'D. <mar...@lu...>]

Hi Toni

If you get a copy of the original gbak directory and your modified gbak 
directory and do a

$diff -bu <oldDir> < newDir> > patchfile.txt

That should generate a patchfile that can easily be applied to reproduce 
your changes, send the file to fir...@li..., and 
if noone else picks it up, I'll give it a go.

The patchfile.txt file is fairly easy to read, and can easily be applied 
to a checked out code via.

patch -p0 < patchfile.txt


Cheers

Mark
