So, in an attempt to make a patch pack were everything could easily be updated to the latest versions, I started working on larger Git repository where each patch would be stored within it's own branch. The construction of the patch pack itself would then "easily" be accomplished by merging all the branches together. This actually works a lot better than I initially expected.
Just finished moving everything from my local Git repository to GitHub, so in the case anyone might be interested in (yet another) patch pack, it can be found here; https://github.com/eudyptula/OpenTTD
I plan on updating the patch pack regularly, as I have since 2015. If there's anything anyone would like in it, then let me know and I'll consider updating it.
I can also easily provide diff files for pretty much anything if need be. Might also consider providing precompiled releases if there's an interest for those.
Current list of branches:
master: OpenTTD as we know it
develop Just a few helping tools like .gitignore, CMakeLists (doesn't compile in cmake, but includes the files for my IDE to show syntax highlighting), and a configure script for cross-compiling. Theses are included in all branches below.
Feature branches (my own patches):
autoreplace_same: Removes a restriction to allow setting a vehicle to be autoreplaced with the same model. Useful for autoreplace when old, when you want to do it only for certain groups and vehicles.
improved_keys: No need to press 'change' when doing timetables - just press the number.
improved_station_lists: New sorting option 'Highest available waiting cargo', works a bit like 'highest cargo rating' but for available waiting cargo (per cargo type per next station).
improved_vehicle_lists: New sorting options and the values showed in the list now depends on the chosen sorting option.
last_travel_times: Shows the latest travel times in the timetable window - good for estimating times.
rebalancing: A (failed) attempt to rebalance OpenTTD, mostly in regards to time, speeds and distances. Not included in the latest patch packs.
reverse_orders: Easy method for doing routes like A-B-C-B-A, with settings for how to handle end stations. viewtopic.php?f=32&t=44766

Patch pack branches:
Compilations of the above branches, the set of patches applied in each can vary - recommend only using the latest.
Aiming at ensuring that the patch packs are save game compatible with earlier versions. Should also work with vanilla versions until OpenTTD bumps the save game version number. Against everything else I wouldn't know.
