Talk:Simple Package Modification

This can be done even simpler:

make prep
cp file/to/be/modified /file/to/be/original.patch-suffix

make your changes

go to the root (sme7, sme8/, contribs7/ or contribs8/) of the package and version you are modifying

make patch SUFFIX=patch-suffix

This will create a patch with the proper naming scheme as well as add it to CVS all at once.
