PATCHDIFF(1)

NAME
patchdiff - compare sets of patches

SYNOPSIS
patchdiff [-D | -d dir]

DESCRIPTION
patchdiff is a perl script that simplifies comparing a set of previously existing patches with a new one created with mkpatches(1).

patchdiff must be called from the package's main directory, that is ${PKGSRC}/category/program. For each patch existing in either the patches directory, it is compared with its backup file (patch-foo.orig) using diff(1).

If the -d option is used, patchdiff looks for patches in dir instead of the default patches directory. If the -D option is used, patchdiff looks in $WRKDIR/.newpatches.
