Get latest version of the source from upstream git.
git clone git://gitorious.org/procps/procps.git
and use 'git format-patch' format. It is fine to attach patches as

Also unified diffs (diff -u) are my preference, context diffs (diff -c )
are kind of usable, and standard diffs (diff) are more useless than a
generic text description of what you did. Just use
diff -Naurd oldfile newfile
or
diff -Naurd old-procps-ng-dir new-procps-ng-dir
to create your diffs and you will make me happy. Also make sure to
