Thanks, David and Dave, for the info on diff and patch. My apologies for not<br>
following up earlier. Now for a few more questions...<br>
<p>
If I make my initial changes available in the form of a patch, then in what<br>
form should I make further changes available? A patch to my patch, or a<br>
patch relative to the base code I'm working from (version 0.83 of the HP<br>
backend)? I don't want to require people to apply several patches in a row<br>
just to get started. Mind you, I haven't gotten any feedback yet, so either<br>
nobody has had occasion to try it out, or everything's working perfectly. :-)<br>
<p>
Given that the HP backend seems pretty stable these days, is there even any<br>
point in generating patches, as opposed to just providing the entirety of<br>
the changed files? (No flames, please -- I'm just wondering!)<br>
<p>
So how have other people dealt with branches like this without the benefit<br>
of fancy revision control systems?<br>
<p>
Thanks,<br>
David Paschal<br>
