The first rule is that a patch is either necessary, or useful. We have a few patches in -patches which people have considered useful for specific cases, even though those cases are too uncommon to include them in the book. But you haven't explained what the problem is! And although I'm not averse to taking patches from everywhere (even BSDs, if I can find them), I tend to be dubious about 'homebrew' because that implies building for OSX and I do not regard that as having very much in common with our systems. So, I haven't looked at it for the moment. FWIW, the second rule (sometimes to my annoyance) is that if it is simple, we usually prefer sed to patch. ĸen -- Il Porcupino Nil Sodomy Est!
