| 185 ** Creating patches for submission | |
| 186 ================================== | |
| 187 | |
| 188 When making patches you should use the `-c', or preferably if your | |
| 189 diff supports it, `-u'. Using ordinary diffs like this are | |
| 190 notoriously prone to error (and this one won't in fact work, since | |
| 191 I've already applied a patch to this file so the line numbers probably | |
| 192 don't match up any more). | |
| 193 | |
| 194 $ diff -u old-file.c new-file.c | |
| 195 | |
| 196 -or- | |
| 197 | |
| 198 $ diff -c old-file.c new-file.c | |
| 199 | |
| 200 Also, it is helpful for me if you create the patch in the top level of | |
| 201 the XEmacs source directory: | |
| 202 | |
| 203 $ diff -u lwlib/xlwmenu.c~ lwlib/xlwmenu.c | |
| 204 | |
| 205 I prefer patches to be accompanied by an update (either a raw entry or | |
| 206 a patch) to the appropriate ChangeLog file, but it is not required. | |
| 207 | |
| 208 Also note that if you cut & paste from an xterm to an XEmacs mail buffer | |
| 209 you will probably lose due to tab expansion. The best thing to do is to | |
| 210 M-x cd to the appropriate directory, and issue the command `C-u M-!' from | |
| 211 within XEmacs. |
