------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Nov 18 13:28:07 +0000 2008 ------- beside that the patch is a bit stale meanwhile (ok, i didn't pay too much attention when it was new...), the applying part isn't the problem. what i don't like is the generation part that involves too much manual copying. why not diffing the the changed tree with a reference tree already containing all patches beside the current change? this difference would make up a new patch that's generated and just has to be added to the makefile, as in your approach. what i want to keep is the cycle of change, build that change and create a patch containing exactly that change. without introducing manual steps that give you a tree that builds fine but will give you an incomplete patch because you forgot to copy something to somewhere in advance. the only drawback i see in that scenario is that you'll only be able to create new patches. changing existing ones will be a hassle and probably end up in creating all existing patches from scratch if the overlap is too big. and yes, it will be slower than gendiff as you always compare the whole tree but i think it's worth it... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
