OOo / LO used a tool to minimize changes between patches (i.e. ignore different timestamps (or different date-formats) when the change itself still is the same, avoid huge diffs because different order of files in old version of the patch vs the new one, etc): http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/solenv/bin/patch_sanitizer.pl Now mostly obsolete for LibreOffice, as LO's buildsystem allows multiple separate patches, and there is no need to change existing patches when adding some more. So it isn't really the same usecase, but maybe you find it helpful nevertheless. ciao Christian
