How do you create a patch?
Real-life (but not necessarily interesting) story:
1. I download the Karmen windowmanager.
2. I make some changes to the source code
3. I want to submit a diff to sourceforge so they can consider including my changes.
How do I do step 3?

Windows was made for looking at success from a distance through a wall of oversimplicity. Linux removes the wall, so you can just walk up to success and make it your own.

Re: How do you create a patch?
Also, man diff (slower, but more satisfying)

Re: How do you create a patch?
That is probably a good idea given I don't actually know of the top of my head what the "aur" flags do. I just remember that combination for some reason...

Re: How do you create a patch?
I just saw a car fly past my 9th floor window and I"m over 500 miles from chicago... I suspect he's seen it.
