basically. cd blackbox make distclean cd .. cp -a blackbox blackbox-orig cd blackbox <hack hack hack> make distclean cd .. diff -pruN blackbox-orig blackbox > mystuff.patch the -pru option is the format I prefer, other projects may request -prc. Once you have your patch go to sf.net and place it on blackbox's patch tracker so others can enjoy.
