help creating overlay tarball

[xpafiolis]

Hello everyone, i love roundcube!

i created a custom skin of mine that put my company logo in the corner as well as some other minor tweaks. i uploaded the theme in a separate folder and tweaked the main.inc.php file to make my theme default and bingo everything was great!!!

except when cpanel updated - all my changes were lost!

i made the files immutable and it still didnt work...  i just read why in the skins DOC

http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/RoundcubeReadme this page tells me i need to create an overlay file to keep my changes everytime it updates - how do i go about doing this?

do i just add all my modified files to this tarball / zip file and upload it as is? what kind of folder structure etc?

any help would be amazing!

I haven't played with cPanel overlays so I'm don't think I can be of to much help, but keep in mind that updating cPanel won't update RoundCube unless there is a new version  so you will need to force update it for the overlay to be applied.
