[U-Boot-Users] How to do patch against on-line repository

[Shlomo_Kut at mksinst.com]

Hi,

I am in the process preparing a patch for our new board.I have successfully
logged on and performed a checkout of the head into directory u-boot. I now
want to copy my changes to this directory and generate a patch.

How do I tell CVS to do a diff against the remote database?

If I enter diff -purN even while logged into remote database it gives me
differences against my local system

Is there some command option that you can give to diff to tell it to do a
difference against source forges database?

Am I forced to check my new u-boot directory into my local CVS and add the
changes do a diff on my local machine?

What do you recommend I do?

regards

Read the "Essential CVS" by J.Vespermann edited from O'Reilly

It's a good book to undestand CVS

hope this help
