Now that I have a package installed, I need to be able to create a patch. It will just either be adding a couple of files or overwriting some existing files. The packing developers guide is not very helpful as far as how to assemable a patch. Is there a guide showing how/what needs to be included in a patch.
Does the pkginfo of the patch need to have the same package name with "PATCH=" in the pkginfo file? Do you build a package first, then creat a directory with the patchinfo file? (got this from looking at some of suns patches)
 
Personally, unless you can find detailed information about how to make a patch, I would just increment the package version, pkgrm the old package, and pkgadd the new one.

Annihilannic.
