A .diff file is a patch.  Apply it with the 'patch' command.
You may need to read the manual page on patch but the main important
option is the '-p' option which may be needed (eg, -p1 to strip one
path component off filenames).

A typical patch application is something like
  cd some-distribution
  gzip -dc ../some-patch.gz | patch -p1
but this varies based on the specific patches.
