Here's a simple method.
1) Unpack the source tarball, which will give a directory like foo-1.2.3/
2) Do all necessary editing of source files within foo-1.2.3/
3) Rename foo-1.2.3/ to foo-1.2.3-patched/
4) Unpack a second copy of the source tarball, into foo-1.2.3/
5) Now, working from the directory which contains both foo-1.2.3 and
foo-1.2.3-patched, run the command
diff -ruN foo-1.2.3 foo-1.2.3-patched > foo.patch
(You might need to adjust some permissions to get this to work, or
run it under sudo.)
