Topic: punBB update with edited lines of code

I edit/added several lines of code in a lot of files of punBB.
so my question now is, if there is any possibility of keeping that additional lines in while updating punbb to a newer version?

or do i have to go through my whole addons/mods and set it up again? hmm

You can use the hdiffs.

Re: punBB update with edited lines of code

a program called winmerge is open source is a good way also of keeping track of changes in a file.

Re: punBB update with edited lines of code

so you mean using the normal update but backing up my old files, then using hdiff/winmerge to quickly find/add my custom lines of code again?

sounds cool :>

No, follow the hdiff on your current files (but back them up first just in case).
