Re: KNemo patches

Save the modified version of the file with some sort of alternate 
extention.. i.e. if the filename is
configure  save it as configure.nt  then back up to the directory ABOVE 
the package directory
(i.e. if you're building it in /usr/src/ark/BUILD/packagename/  then go 
up to BUILD) and type:

diff -Naur packagename/configure packagename/configure.nt 
 >packagename-identifier.patch

then copy the patch file to /usr/src/ark/SOURCES, add it as a Patch file 
in the specfile, then add a %patch line like you see in other specfiles.
