 As discussed here:

 http://groups.google.co.uk/group/sage-
 devel/browse_thread/thread/c566520374106df3

 GNU patch

 http://www.gnu.org/software/patch/

 is to be added as a standard package to Sage, to allow the use of 'patch'
 to be used to make patches, rather than to us 'cp' as now.

 A new package may be found here

 http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/patches/patch-2.6.1.spkg

 but the file {{{spkg/standard/deps will need to be updated}}} too. There
 are several tickets currently open (#9274, #9351 and #9412) for making
 updates to 'deps' so these need to be coordinated.

 Once this is done, the [http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/ Sage
 Developers Guide] will need to be updated to reflect a new method to
 create patches. A separate ticket will be opened for that.
