I've yet to see a single developer of anything stand up and shout that they prefer some other format of diff other than unified diff.

I didn't say that it was a rule on the website anywhere. Please point out where I said that. >Where did it come from? It came from the will of hundreds and thousands of open source developers who dislike context diffs and other forms of diff patches, and prefer the unified diff format, as unified diff format seriously saves a lot of time when you're a developer working on a software project, in particular a project as large as XFree86. >Is this your particular preference? Why yes it is. And it's the most popular preference of most developers working on most software projects who even know how about how to generate patches with diff and apply them with "patch" also. The majority of developers working on any OSS software that I know, be it XFree86 or something else usually go as far to straight out refuse all patches that are not in unified diff format. Unified diff is the easiest to read, easiest to understand, and the easiest to hand edit should the need arise. It also applies much more cleanly than the other formats. I'm only preaching to the choir while educating you however, so I wont bore the rest of the people who already know and agree with me, by going into further detail. >If so you should state so plainly and not make it a rule of the >Project's. Is this your personal opinion? Or the opinion of the XFree86 project? If so please state than plainly when making useless comments in response to useful suggestions by others. In my opinion, you don't exactly contribute much to the XFree86 project other than a rude attitude and obnoxious comments shouted from your high horse from time to time for your opinion to matter much to me about pretty much anything anyway. I'm surprised that I haven't procmailed you to /dev/null yet. And to be quite honest, I'd be more than happy if you'd do the same to me, if for no other reason than I'd see both less of your postings *and* your generally useless responses. -- Mike A.

All patches should be in the unified diff format and created against the current CVS head preferably. A unified diff can be created by doing: diff -Naur xc.orig xc > yourpatch.patch Where xc.orig is the original unmodified XFree86 source tree, and "xc" is a copy of the tree with your modifications. There are other methods of generating unified diffs which are faster and/or use less disk space, but this one is the easiest to explain. Hope this helps. -- Mike A.
