it would be great to document some of that in the wiki,

probably the easiest way is to do a SVN checkout, apply your
changes, then from the top dir do "svn diff > fink_osx.patch"

svn co https://gpsdrive.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gpsdrive/branches/gpsdrive-2.10pre7 gpsdrive-2.10pre7


or else untar a fresh copy of pre7 in a dir next to the one
you built in, rename it with ".ORIG" then try

diff -u -r gpsdrive-2.10pre7.ORIG/ gpsdrive-2.10pre7.mine/

(??)

your help would be much appreciated. Is the Fink maintainer
still active?

ps- another ping to release pre8 from me (where the OSM map
downloads are not incorrectly scaled)
