Comment(by leif):

 Replying to [comment:7 jdemeyer]:
 > Since the patch still applies perfectly fine, I don't think it is a
 problem that the line numbers don't match (note that I created
 {{{patches/posix.py}}} from {{{patches/posix.py.patch}}}, not the other
 way around).

 Obviously. Florent recently complained about a patch of mine that wasn't
 based on vanilla and so (just) the line numbers changed s.t. Mercurial
 operated more verbosely than usual. ;-)

 In general it's better to also touch the diffs, or keep them in full sync
 with the patched files; I've come across spkgs where apparently obsolete
 files were copied over; and it's confusing when there are dead old patches
 that do not reflect the current differences.

 > Thanks for looking more carefully at this, I just wanted a new spkg
 quickly :-)

 Well, the ticket's first (opening) anniversary is close...
