Directions for creating a libobjects patch
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0. Have somewhere an old, pristine version of the libobjects
|
||
|
|
directory. We'll assume this directory is called "libobjects-old".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Have somewhere a new, changed version of the libobjects directory.
|
||
|
|
We'll assume this directory is called "libobjects", and that it has
|
||
|
|
the same parent directory as "libobjects-old"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. cd to the common parent directory of your two libobjects directories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Create the patch with
|
||
|
|
diff -r -c2 libobjects-old libobjects >my.patch"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Add a GNU-style ChangeLog entry to the top of the patch. You can
|
||
|
|
do this from within emacs using M-x add-change-log-entry.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. If you want to include a short note of explanation to me
|
||
|
|
personally, put it at the top, above the ChangeLog entry.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Mail the file to mccallum@gnu.ai.mit.edu.
|
||
|
|
|
||

---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For a beautiful example from Adam Fedor, see the file example.patch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you send me multiple patches to the same file between releases of
|
||
|
|
libobjects, please diff against a version that has your previous patches.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[I just threw these directions together. If you have constructive
|
||
|
|
suggestions for improving these directions, please send them to me.
