Creating patches.....where to look for info?

Hi,

I'm looking for some resources (don't say "man" ) to get started on making Solaris patches. The reason being is we have files released to use. The current process is to copy them onto the machine and make a record somewhere.

I'd like to create a patch in the same way that packages are made so I keep track of what's on the machine at any time (showrev -p).

Any tips or areas to look?

Thanks.

Do you mean patch in the generic sense, or the commandline program known as patch?

I'm probably thinking of the patch utility in Solaris. I use the pkgmk utility to make my packages. Now I'm looking for something similar for patches.

The problem I'm having is that if I manually "patch" files on a box that were part of a package, then pkgchk flags the package as changed.
