Guten Abend!

Don't forget to answer the confirmation mail ;-)

Yes, diff (with -u option) is the correct tool.

If you changed a single file:
    diff -u file.orig file > file.patch

If you changed multiple files and have copied the directory before
    diff -Nur postfixadmin.orig/ postfixadmin > postfixadmin.patch

If you use the SVN version and change it, it's even easier:
    svn diff > postfixadmin.patch

That's pretty old. Please update to the current SVN version before 
creating patches - we have done lots of changes and also lots of fixes.

SVN checkout (should be one line):
    svn co https://postfixadmin.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/postfixadmin 
    postfixadmin/trunk

Then run "svn update" regularly to have the latest version.

If you have problems or questions while porting your changes to the 
latest version, just ask on postfixadmin-devel or on #postfixadmin on 
irc.freenode.org

AFAIK some people use the SVN version with pgsql, so it must have 
improved ;-)
