This is makepatch, a program to generate a patch file from two files
or directories.
It resembles "diff -c -r -N", but:
- it is always recursive;
- it handles 'patchlevel.h' first;
- it supplies 'Index:' and 'Prereq:' lines;
- it can use 'manifest' files;
- it generates shell commands to remove files;
- it can manipulate manifest files.
As distributed, it assumes that perl resides in /usr/local/bin. You
have to change the first line of makepatch.pl if your perl is in a
different location.
To install:
- Edit Makefile.PL (if needed)
- Type 'perl Makefile.PL'
- Type 'make'
blib/script/makepatch is the makepatch program
blib/man1/makepatch.1 is the manual page
- Optionally, as root, type 'make install' to install the program
and the documentation on your system.
