Question

I tried this steps in order to create a patch

code change for each version update

jungels.net/articles/diff-patch-ten-minutes.html

• Can able to create a patch

• if i run the patch,it replaces the code straight away.....Incase if the updated version has some code changes,it doesn't bothers,it will straight away copy the modified code what i have....

  How to overcome this issue?(ie::Need to have the updated version code changes also)

Answer 1

Use version control. As already noted.

If you really taking about sphinxsearc, its available via SVN https://code.google.com/p/sphinxsearch/source/checkout

So checkout a copy. Make any changes as needed to your local working copy. Can then just run svn update which will download the latest changes from teh repository, but wont discard your local edits.

(Can also use SVN to create 'patch' files directly. to keep a record of your changes against the current version of sphinx)
