theYinYeti Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I VeXP-VIAXine-2.1 currently at home, and I want VeXP-VIAXine-3 (10MB), but I have 56k internet. Here at work, I have fast internet, so I downloaded both, and using cygwin, I want to do a patch. Is that the good command? diff -drbBENU 3 VeXP-VIAXine-2.1 VeXP-VIAXine-3 >viaexp-2.1-3.0.diff Then of course, I bzip2 it, and obtain a 666KB file. Nice :) Yves.

Michel Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Heya, I'm a beginner at this and I don't know if this still maters, but I mostly do: diff -ur old-dir new-dir > patchfile (no "./" in the beginning of the directories) and to patch .. go into your <old-dir> and do patch -p1 < patchfile Hopes this helps.
