Assuming you have already have a built astlinux from the development 
enviroment. First copy the directory for the item that you want to patch to 
your home directory. In my cause I have been patching wanpipe so I am going to 
use that so:

  cp ..../astlinux-devel/build_dir/wanpipe ~/wanpipe

Next make another copy of that in your home directory and call it something 
like wanpipe.orig:

  cp ..../astlinux-devel/build_dir/wanpipe ~/wanpipe.orig

Now go into the first directory you created and make the changes:

  cd ~/wanpipe
  nano -w Setup
  ....

Then go back to your home directory:

  cd ~

Now you are going to actually generate the patch. be sure that the name of the 
patch begins with the name of the package you are altering so:

  diff -Naur wanpipe.orig/ wanpipe/ > wanpipe1.patch

Now copy that patch into the corisponding item in the packages directory:

  cp wanpipe1.patch ..../astlinux-devel/package/wanpipe/

That should be it, provided that the packages .mk file is setup to actually do 
patching. I think they all are though. You should be good to run make dirclean 
and make so:

cd ..../astlinux-devel/package/wanpipe/
make dirclean
make

Good Luck
