Great idea! It will be good practice - to have simply patches for
minor versions. But this is definitely not a patch for 6.5.0, but
some other version. Unfortunately I lost .tar.gz 6.5.0 distribution,
but I am pretty sure that my sources were intact. There were a lot of
hunks failed, and patched version failed to compile.
Isn't is the right way to do a patch: take old distribution
and simply make a diff against new tree? Seems that current
patch isn't done that way. Included here is patch log file
for your reference.
