problems with making rpm's

[Jonathan Drews <j.e.drews@worldnet.att.net>]

Hi:

 I want to update a package on my SuSE box by building a new rpm. This 
is a  version increment from ted-2.11 to ted-2.14. Following the advice 
of the RPM-HOWTO, I want to drop in the new ted-2.14.src.tar.gz in 
place of the old ted-2.11.src.tar.bz2. To do that I have to modify my 
patch file. I was able to modify the patch file but I cannot generate a 
diff that is similar to the one SuSE had. Theirs looks like this:

but I made mine by taking the dif between the modified and original 
directories and it looks like this:

planck@linux:~> cat TedDir.patch

With this format I cannot apply the patch. How do I get my patch in the 
form that SuSE had? That is  in the form of the first (original) patch 
above.


									TIA
