I have a suggestion to page
related to patch creation for Fedora 15.
First, on preparing the directory structure:
cp -r ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver/linux-2.6.$ver.$arch ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.orig
-cp -al ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.orig ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.new
+cp -a ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.orig ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.new
+
+cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver
+ln -s ../kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.orig/linux-2.6.$ver.$arch/ a
+ln -s ../kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.new/linux-2.6.$ver.$arch/ b
Then on patch creation itself:
-cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD
-diff -uNrp kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.orig kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver.new > ../SOURCES/linux-2.6-my-new-patch.patch
+cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver$fedver
+diff -Naurp a b > ../../SOURCES/linux-2.6-my-new-patch.patch
The procedure for patch creation that is on the page did not work for Fedora 15, and I noticed that all patch files uses directory "a" for original code, and directory "b" for new code.
Regards,
Peter
