[vlc-devel] [PATCH] [RFC] contrib: add a script to generate contrib patches

[Steve Lhomme]

I often use this script to create patches easily.

Usage in the specific contrib folder you're building:
../diffpatch.sh <folder_of_package> <file_extension_between_old_new_versions>

eg
../diffpatch.sh flac .mingw-fix
