Creating patch file which options to use?
hello,
I want to create a patch file to linux kernel source to which i modified. I am using -urN options does it correct ? also what if my original source in /usr/src/linux-2.6.8 and modified source in /home/cranium/mylinux-2.6.8. Does the following command creates correct patch file?
diff -urN /home/cranium/mylinux-2.6.8 /usr/src/linux-2.6.8
If both argumants are files instead directories then whether to use
diff file1 file2
or
diff -uN file1 file2
Why -u (unified output format) need to be specified?
regards,
cranium
