1. Make sure you have two CLEAN copies of the directory that you want to patch, e.g. libbluray.orig/ and libbluray.new/
|
|

|

2. Make your changes in libbluray.new/ (make sure that you ONLY make changes that you want to be included in the patch)

3. Create the patch from the parent directory as follows:
|
|
Packit |
5e46da |
|
|
Packit |
5e46da |
diff -rupN libbluray.orig/ libbluray.new/ > libbluray.patch
|
|
Packit |
5e46da |
|
|
Packit |
5e46da |
4. You now have a patch called 'libbluray.patch'.
|
|
Packit |

|
|
Packit |

5. To apply the patch, change to the clean source directory that you want to patch (e.g. libbluray.clean/), and run:
|
|
Packit |
5e46da |
|
|
Packit |
5e46da |
patch -p1 < libbluray.patch
|
|
