or
check out the code from CVS
$ export
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at cvs.nagios.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nagios
$ cvs co nagios
.. do your changes
..
$ cvs diff -u > patchfile.
$ vi patchfile (removing crud which should be put into the .cvsignore)
this way you can update the CVS source when people update the codebase.
