Description

@EbonJaeger

The current documentation only covers applying a patch, which is of little help if the packager doesn't first know how to make a patch file in the first place.

The section should include the following steps:

  1. Clone the source repository
  2. Make changes to the source
  3. Create the patch file
    i. Create a git commit detailing the changes
    ii. Create (if not exists) the files directory inside the package's directory
    iii. Run git format-patch -o ~/path/to/package/dir/files to create the patch file
