Mr. Nemeth, i thank you.=20

Full steps in detail:


Go to pkgsrc directory of the software you want to patch
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/category/software

Exract the software
# make extract

Go to directory of source files
# cd work
# cd src

Edit files via pkgvi and get difference file
# pkgvi file.c
# pkgdiff file.c > patch-zz

Edit patch file, because path of the file may be incorrect. See 3rd and 4th
line
# vi patch-zz

Move patch to original patches directory
# mv patch-zz /usr/pkgsrc/category/software/patches
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/category/software

Well, it could be better to clean first and then install
# make clean
# make install


I think this should be documented for future reference of standard users.

Regards,
