This is makepatch, a program to generate a patch file from two files or directories. It resembles "diff -c -r -N", but: - it is always recursive; - it handles 'patchlevel.h' first; - it supplies 'Index:' and 'Prereq:' lines; - it can use 'manifest' files; - it generates shell commands to remove files; - it can manipulate manifest files. As distributed, it assumes that perl resides in /usr/local/bin. You have to change the first line of makepatch.pl if your perl is in a different location. To install: edit the Makefile (if needed) and type 'make install'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Johan Vromans jvromans@squirrel.nl Squirrel Design & Consultancy Boskoop, the Netherlands http://www.xs4all.nl/~jvromans http://www.xxlink.nl/squirrel PGP key: finger jvromans@xs4all.nl (Key ID = C9A6FF75) Key fingerprint = 7C F8 BD 5C 25 7F 47 A6 CB 87 32 0B E3 50 EF 04 ------------------------ "Arms are made for hugging" -------------------------
