Moo!
I was wondering if somebody could help me out quickly with
a rather simple diff quetsion (I've never really used it
before).
I have two src trees:
/usr/vomit/src1
/usr/vomit/src2
src2 is the same program as src1, except that it has a whole
pile of changes---New files, files removed, and changes
to existing files.
What I'd like to do is produce a SINGLE patch file that
somebody who has the src1 tree could take and apply
to src1 using patch -p -E (or something else, if more
appropriate, again, I don't know....).
I tried diff -c, but this didn't seem to take into consideration
new files and removed files.
Could somebody suggest to me what the command line would
look like for what I'm doing (I would like to be as position
independant as possible---Ie somebody with /u0/death/src1
could still apply the patches)
Merci.
TOodlepip!
Marc 'em.
