First, unified diffs are only supported by recent versions of patch;<br>
I *always* use context diffs to avoid problems. So, your command<br>
example *should* be:<br>
<p>
diff -cNr dir.old dir<br>
<p>
Second, I don't keep a complete copy of the original distribution on<br>
disk - we support so many FSF programs that I'm running low on disk<br>
space on our "GNU" disk (9GB, filling up fast). Instead I have a<br>
script I run to edit files that sees if the original file is present<br>
(*.orig) and if not makes a copy before invoking the editor. Then<br>
I have a script that generates a diff of all changed files.<br>
<p>
FWIW, if your patch programs are not recognizing this, then they are<br>
not configured properly. I just checked the patch against the patch<br>
program I have on my systems, and it worked under IRIX 5.3, 6.2, 6.5,<br>
Solaris 2.5.1, Solaris 2.6, Digital UNIX, and HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0 (I<br>
haven't checked it on our Linux systems yet...)<br>
<p>
I'm using patch v2.1 (IRIX and Solaris), 2.5 (Digital UNIX), and 76.1<br>
(HP-UX).<br>
