I try to meticulously follow the Porter's Handbook. At http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/port-upgrading.html it says if the diff exceeds 20 KB, to compress and uuencode it. Since the diff is about 35 KB, that's what I did. Or rather, I compressed it and let send-pr uuencode it, if I recall correctly. Is this advice in the Porter's Handbook outdated? BTW, I notice now the download patch link from the PR seems to deliver a corrupted file. It's not clear why that is, since I was able to copy/paste the uuencoded text and uudecode it, and got the correct file. I can see that this may have caused some difficulty, but if so I wish somebody would have sent me an email and I would have been happy to send the diffs in any format they please.
