But the real answers lie within the svn man pages. :) Also have a look at diff(1), and patch (1), diff -u -N newfile.orig newfile > patch-pathname-newfile and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ for even greater depth to these topics. :) HTH --Chris > > -- > Patrick Powell Astart Technologies > papow...@astart.com 1530 Jamacha Rd, Suite X > Network and System San Diego, CA 92019 > Consulting 858-874-6543 FAX 858-751-2435 > Web: www.astart.com > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
