#3 HOWTO post a patch file here

[Anonymous]

The best way to create a patch is to do

cvs update
cvs diff -u > nameyoumakeup.patch

To generate a patch directly from current cvs. It's
convenient and the directory references will be correct for
anyone applying a patch.

You can attach a file here, also e-mail it to the
author if you like.

See the CVS page on how to download a anon CVS copy of
all files, anyone can do this and it really helps the
whole project.

A user can use the program "patch" to take a diff file and
apply it. Also, read the man page (or search google) and you
will find that you can patch against a particular date, like
if you want to patch only against the last release code version.

From "man patch"

patch takes a patch file patchfile containing a difference
listing produced by the diff program and applies those
differences to one or more original files, producing
patched versions.
