Creating Android Patch file

Ferhatx
Intellectual 420 points

Hi,

We downloaded and installed TI-Android-ICS-4.0.3-DevKit-EVM-SK-3.0.1.bin.
We made our modifications for our Custom Am335x board in order to run Android ICS.
When we want to create a patch file using command below,

diff -Nur sourcefolder changedfolder >changes.patch

it gives below outputs,i just take a snapshot.

diff: TI-Android-ICS-4.0.3-DevKit-EVM-SK-3.0.1/abi/cpp/.git/svn: No such file or directory
diff: rowboat/abi/cpp/.git/svn: No such file or directory
diff: TI-Android-ICS-4.0.3-DevKit-EVM-SK-3.0.1/bionic/.git/svn: No such file or directory
diff: rowboat/bionic/.git/svn: No such file or directory

How can we creat a clean patch file? We are not familiar with Git or SVN.
If it is possible,can you explain step by step?

Best Regards,

FERHAT

    If you are using GIT you can run next commands in order to create a patch

    # cd <to your modified repository>

    # git commit -a

    # git format-patch -o output_directory -1

    then to apply the patch you can do

    # cd <to your modified repository>

    # git am my_generate_patch.patch

    Android source code is divided in repositories, for each one that was modified you need to create a patch.
