Not pissed, pussed or passed off.

The main thing is 'diff -bur old new >patchname.patch' That way we have context and trivial whitespace changes are ignored. Using 'cvs diff -ub' makes the process almost bulletproof. Someone else might have further notes regarding CWD, i'm inclined to make CWD the new directory. > However, I did just download from ftp.samba.org/ftp/rsync the 2.5.5 source > (not sure this is where I should be getting it from or not).

A fair amount of main.c has changed in CVS since 2.5.5 including some structure but i don't see anything in the logs related to signals. Learning CVS can be a bit of effort so i can understand reluctance if any. There are some pointers on the download page (http://rsync.samba.org/download.html) to getting CVS or a current snapshot. > I will look into how to properly format the changes for diff(1) and/or patch(1). > I would appreciate it if someone would let me know how and to where I should > submit the changes for incorporation into the product. Mail them to the list with Subject starting with [patch]. I can't be sure but it is probably safest to attach them as text/plain if can't be sure what your mailer will do to whitespace.
