| No, a diff file applies to source, not exeutable, so if you have a diff
| file, you'll need to get the source.
|
| I recommend the following:
|
| pkg_info <name of package> # eg, pkg_info 'php*' to verify
| pkg_delete <name of package> # what this will do
|
| cd /usr/ports/*/<name of port> # if ambiguous, figure out which you want
| make patch
| cd work
| cd <directory you find there where the source code lives>
| path < diff-file
oops! That should be "patch < diff-file"
| cd /usr/ports/*/<name of port>
| make install
|
| That said, it's entirely likely that this will have already been applied to
| the port, in which case you can just cvsup (or just grab the updated port
| from the FTP site), and then
|
| pkg_delete 'foo*'
| cd /usr/ports/*/whatever
| make install
