If you are using CVS (recommended), create patches using 'cvs diff -u'.
It's probably best to do this from the top level, but if you are
only modifying a driver source file, the comedi/drivers/ directory
works as well.

If you are creating a patch from a release, you need to have two
top-level directories, e.g., comedi-0.7.65 and comedi-0.7.65-modified.
Create patches using 'diff -urN comedi-0.7.65 comedi-0.7.65-modified'.

Note that I _often_ edit patches before applying, so it is wise
to back up files that you have modified before doing a cvs update.
If I make extensive modifications, I try to break up the CVS
commits into an "original patch" commit, and a "my modifications"
commit, so you can extract the changes from CVS.

Send patches directly to me.  If I don't respond to it within a
few days, you can either remind me or embarass me publicly on
the list. =)
