+# General questions
+
+## `sed` or patches?
+
+Sometimes I come across cases where `sed` is used to change some values in the
+source code, or to add / remove / change some parts of the source code.
+It may look like a good idea for a one-time job, but you will encounter
+problems in the future when you upgrade the package.
+
+`sed` works quietly, and it is impossible to understand whether it found what
+was needed to be found, whether he replaced what we wanted? Maybe this change
+is already in the new sources, and we no longer need `sed` command?
+
+If we consider only the updated sources, sometimes it is impossible
+to understand the essence of the `sed` changes. And then you have to download
+and analyze the old sources.
+
+Feel free to use patches. The `patch` is smart enough to find the necessary
+lines in the new sources, and also it will signal to you if your changes have
+already been made in the sources, or if the sources has changed so much that
+your intervention is required.
+
+Go from `sed` to `patch` is easy. You must use the `-o.backup` option (value
+after the `-o` you can change). For example, you used this code:
+
+```bash
+sed -i '/debug/ s|true|false|' config
+```
+
+Now apply the changes saving the original file:
+
+```bash
+sed -i.orig '/debug/ s|true|false|' config
+```
+
+Create a patch using the original and modified files:
+
+```bash
+diff ./config.orig ./config > ../../stuff/patches/config.patch
+```
+
+Now you can use the created patch and remove the `sed` command.
