I am starting to use XmlSpawner, and for one of the server I am not using the RunUO distro script package, I have to change a lot of places to get the XmlSpawner to work (well not totally done yet, still in progress but I am optimistic).
My question is, with the continous updates Arte made to XmlSpawner, what would be the best way for me to merge the new changes into my already modified package from an earlier version? I assume it would be relatively easy if the XmlSpawner was put on a CVS system, thus I know in which files and exactly where changes were made. Now how do I go about tracking down these changes? Do I have to compare every file in a new release with the corresponding file in the previous version I used?
Many thanks for anyone who can help!

I would recommend using WinMerge. It can compare your installation directories and identify all changed files.

Thank you for the reply Arte, sounds like a good plan! I am also thinking depends on how much changes you make in each update, in the future I can set up a local CVS repository for XMLSpawner, then work on a checked out copy of it; that way, whenever new updates came out, I can just update the resposiitory first, then do another check out, which should automatically merge most of the changes, leaving only a few in conflict, which I can manually merge.

that sounds good.
