-@section How do I generate a patch?
-
-The RTEMS patches to the development tools are generated using a
-command like this
-
-@example
-diff -N -P -r -c TOOL-original-image TOOL-with-changes >PATCHFILE
-@end example
-
-where the options are:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item -N and -P take care of adding and removing files (be careful not to
-include junk files like file.mybackup)
-
-@item -r tells diff to recurse through subdirectories
-
-@item -c is a context diff (easy to read for humans)
-
-@end itemize
-
-Please look at the generated PATCHFILE and make sure it does not
-contain anything you did not intend to send to the maintainers.
-It is easy to accidentally leave a backup file in the modified
-source tree or have a spurious change that should not be
-in the PATCHFILE.
-
-If you end up with the entire contents of a file in the patch
-and can't figure out why, you may have different CR/LF scheme
-in the two source files. The GNU open-source packages usually have
-UNIX style CR/LF. If you edit on a Windows platform, the line
-terminators may have been transformed by the editor into Windows
-style.

-@section How do I apply a patch?
-
-Patches generated with the @code{diff} program are fed into the
-@code{patch} program as follows:
-
-@example
-patch -p1 <PATCHFILE
-@end example
-
-where the options are:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item -pNUM tells @code{patch} to strip off NUM slashes from the
-pathname.
-
-@end itemize
-
-If @code{patch} prompts for a file to patch, you may need to adjust NUM.
