Hi Alvin,

Good progress! And thanks for documenting the patch. I would suggest a few changes:

* Instead of calling it 'mypatch.diff' give it a descriptive name, like 'fix-version-string.patch'

* In the patch metadata, make sure to replace all the stuff in <angle brackets>. For example, instead of:

Description: Replace %%VSN%% in rabbitmqadmin with version number
