MKPATCHES(1) NetBSD General Commands Manual MKPATCHES(1) NNAAMMEE mmkkppaattcchheess - create patch files appropriate for pkgsrc SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS mmkkppaattcchheess [--dd _o_u_t_p_u_t_-_d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y] DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN mmkkppaattcchheess is a perl script that simplifies creating patches from a changed work tree if for each changed file the original was kept with an added extension ``.orig''. mmkkppaattcchheess must be called from the package's main directory, that is _$_{_P_K_G_S_R_C_}_/_c_a_t_e_g_o_r_y_/_p_r_o_g_r_a_m. It then proceeds to find all files that match the pattern ``*.orig''. Each of these is then compared to the changed file of the same name (with no ``.orig'' extension) using pkgdiff(1). The resulting patches are saved in the directory _$_{_W_R_K_D_I_R_}_/_._n_e_w_p_a_t_c_h_e_s or the directory specified after --dd, and can be easily compared to the cur- rently existing set using patchdiff(1).
