Patch/Add Binary File to Source

[netmana]

Hi,

I made a modification to the linux bootup logo
(linuxsrc/drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_224.ppm), and wanted to
create a patch for the linux26 kernel package.  However, patch or
scripts/Create-Diff could  not create
patch files for binary data.  I would like to know what is the easiest
way to add a binary file to a source
before building a package.

Currently, I cheated by breaking the build right before make, and
manually added the binary file and proceeded
with 'eval make $makeopt' etc....

Thank you,

Toan

aren't the Linux boot logos build from ASCII files for that reason

(just form the top of my memory, would need to take a look again)?



But, as last resort, there are also binary patch utilities available

(vdelta / xdelta etc.).



The easiest solution would probably to copy over the file in a premake

hook in your target/.../ *linunx26* overlay file.

Rene,

The linux boot logo is a binary file, which was converted from .png to .ppm .


Also, I am not sure how to copy over a file in a premake hook from a
location outside of a jailed root.
Do i first need to exit the jailed root, copy over the file, and
continue evaluating the next hook?  thank you,

Toan
