Hi everybody

Just to know about errata patches : how openbsd developers Generates errata patches
Like , I know (diff -upf ) generates diff
How you ppl generate patches like below , is there any tool or scripts to do that

OpenBSD 6.9 errata 001, May 4, 2021:

vmd guests can trigger excessive log messages on the host by sending
certain network packets.

Apply by doing:
signify -Vep /etc/signify/openbsd-69-base.pub -x 001_vmd.patch.sig \
-m - | (cd /usr/src && patch -p0)
