To do this, type: diff -c5 -r (old_directory) (new_directory)An example: diff -c5 -r crossfire-0.90.1 crossfire-0.90.2 - Gnu diff will include files that did not exist before. Other diff programs may not do this. - If your diff looks excessively long and you made a lot of formatting changes, you can add -w to the diff options to have it ignore whitespace. Note that this will then mean that those formatting changes will then be lost. - There is no need to make a separate diff file for each file that is different (ie, treasure.diff, player.diff, etc). Assuming you follow steps 1-6, all the diffs can be contained in one file, and patch will deal with it just fine. - If you need to send a map, new archetypes, or other new files where a diff doesn't make sense, a uuencoded tar file will suffice. Submit all patches to the Sourceforge patch tracker on http://sourceforge.net/projects/crossfire, and mail an announcement to [[crossfire-devel at lists.real-time.com]].
