Basically, line numbers in the original and modified files.
"The following 9 lines, starting at line 96 in the original file, become 9 lines, starting at line 96 in the patched file, after applying the changes specified below, up to the next @@ line (or end-of-file)"

| Did you try to edit the patch by hand? Don't do that. It's possible, but you need to be very careful. You're usually better off applying the original patch to the original target, then editing the resulted modified file, then generating a new patch as a difference between the original target and the edited file. |

That's what Hu meant. Editing patches by hand is possible, but easy to get wrong. And spaces at the beginning of lines are important, as mv said.
This is what I get by directly editing the repository's current meson.build file according to the patch from proton-gentoo-overlay, and then using diff -u against the unmodified file to obtain a new patch.

You create it:- Checkout clean upstream copy.
- Checkout working copy for edits. (To be compact, you can just backup the files you will need, but that is more work.)
- In the working copy for edits, run patch -p1 -i /path/to/original/patch
- # Now some files are modified according to the patch.
- $EDITOR files-to-change-more
- # Now your local edits are present too.
- diff -u $clean_checkout $modified_checkout > newpatch.patch

as far as i understand.i need to edit the ebuild to use a working commit with the patch,download the commit.and diff the changes with the git/live version at dxvk.git?

For getting a better understanding of patch you might run some tests with diff. I've tried to describe in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Patches#Creating_a_patch. |

hi again
this is quite hard for me to understand but i am trying...so i have patched the dxvk-1.4.4 :
| Code: |
hedmo@mya51 ~/Downloads/dxvk-1.4.4 $ patch -p1 -i /home/hedmo/Downloads/hud.patch
patching file meson.build
patching file meson_options.txt
patching file src/d3d11/d3d11_swapchain.cpp
Hunk #2 succeeded at 206 (offset 6 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 303 (offset 6 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 602 (offset 10 lines).
patching file src/d3d11/d3d11_swapchain.h
patching file src/dxvk/dxvk_instance.cpp
patching file src/dxvk/dxvk_instance.h
patching file src/dxvk/meson.build
Hunk #2 succeeded at 84 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 101 (offset 1 line).
hedmo@mya51 ~/Downloads/dxvk-1.4.4 $ |
and the patch worked.now i need to diff it with the dxvk-git as i understand but how?.i would like to see a command like this :
| Code: |
diff the files that i have patched in dxvk-1.4.4 and make a new patch for me to use in dxvk-git
|
This is HARD for me to understand

it is the same with your link ...i can not figure out where the magic happens
i know it is simple when you have done it some times but now it is like finding a pearl in the ocean for me.

You have started your ebuild so it can download and unpack the sources?
Do the ebuild <package and version> clean prepare, then cd to the work directory and apply the patch.
Come here again posting your ebuild |

it is from: https://github.com/pchome/proton-gentoo-overlay . this is a good custom proton build for gentoo.this build makes you run SkyrimSE with ENB and Reshade together without a black screen

Step 1 | Code: | ebuild /var/db/repos/proton/app-emulation/dxvk-module/dxvk-module-9999.ebuild clean unpack
>>> Existing ${T}/environment for 'dxvk-module-9999' will be sourced. Run
>>> 'clean' to start with a fresh environment.
>>> Not marked as unpacked; recreating WORKDIR...
>>> Unpacking source...
...
GIT NEW branch -->
repository: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk.git
at the commit: b4f2094c02bea9b241f558a1c1888ba28a88d3f0
>>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/dxvk-module-9999/work |
Step 2 | Code: | | su -c "cd /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/dxvk-module-9999/work/dxvk-module-9999 |
Is this your package? Here, it is a git directory, so steps 3 and 4 can be skipped. Proceed with step 5 (apply your changes) and finally do the git diff and do it while in /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/dxvk-module-9999/work/dxvk-module-9999/ |

okej i am going to try this on.but do i need to : | Code: |
ebuild /var/db/repos/proton/app-emulation/dxvk-module/dxvk-module-9999.ebuild clean unpack
|
cant i just : | Code: |
git clone https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk.git
|
and use that one:
i am using tempfs :
| Code: |
mya51 . # su -c "cd /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/dxvk-module-9999/work/dxvk-module-9999"
job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
chdir: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
mya51 . #
|
It is not my package but it is the package/ebuild i want to patch

It means using portage's unpack function for your ebuild.

That's because you did not cd into what your ebuild has unpacked ... |

this patch is simple because it has only one file that it is patching. but if the patch has many files to patch it is getting quite time killing to do it like this because i have to split out
the patch into many patches

Why would you have to split a multi-file patch into multiple patches?

John R. Graham i dont know how to work with a multi-file patch.the only way i can think of is to first clone the repo,rename,clone again,
patch one of them and diff the hole thing but that sounds like a NO go.but i dont know.manually edit patches was quite hard to.

It's a lot easier than you're describing:- Clone the repo.
- Checkout the branch or tag you want to base your modifications on.
- (Optional) Create a new local branch for your changes.
- Edit whatever files you want.
- (Optional) Commit those changes to your branch. This creates a convenient audit trail of your modifications.
- Use git to diff against the unmodified branch or tag to create your patch. That's as simple as
| Code: | | git diff master >mypatch.patch |
Repeat steps 4 - 6 until you've got it right.You should never have to manually edit a patch, not because you can't but rather it's easier to edit the source code and do a diff to make a new patch.

That's more or less the same as the procedure in the wiki article mentioned in post 8394822.
We might add that the command git diff can diff not only a single file but also a whole directory of files. |
