In what format should patches for the Hurd and GNU Mach be?
{MB} All patches should be sent in unified context diff format (option `-u’ to GNU diff). It is helpful for us if you also use the `-p’ option which includes information about the function changed by a patch. Changes that are similar can be grouped together in one file, but unrelated changes should be sent in seperate files. The patches can be included in the message or as a MIME attachement. They should not be compressed and/or archived unless they are very large, and if they are very large it is probably better to store them on-line at some place and only sent an URL. Write a ChangeLog entry for each change, following the format of the existing files.
