That's really easy: $ quilt new hwmon-f71882fg-fix-stuff.patch $ quilt add drivers/hwmon/f71882fg.c # Edit the file, build, test, etc. $ quilt diff # See your changes $ quilt refresh # Write them to the disk $ quilt head -e # Describe the patch and add your Signed-off-by And send patches/hwmon-f71882fg-fix-stuff.patch. Here's my ~/.quiltrc if you want to see what I consider sane defaults: QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="--diffstat --strip-trailing-whitespace" QUILT_DIFF_ARGS="--color" QUILT_DIFF_OPTS="-p" QUILT_NO_DIFF_INDEX=1 EDITOR=nedit If you need help with quilt, just ask, I'll be happy to help you get up to speed quickly. -- Jean Delvare
