Hi, while setting up a small network from scratch with hamm, I found that /usr/bin/patch ( patch_2.5-2 ) fails to locate files in directories deeper than one (eg. *** drivers/sound/lowlevel/init.c ). When patch prompts for an alternative file name I exactly give `drivers/sound/lo wlevel/init.c' -- and it worx. ( options like -d or -p are set properly. )
I examined the whole thing with strace: patch looks for `init.c', `RCS/init.c' and so on, but misses the path `drivers/sound/lowlevel' completely. There is no `chdir' call or anything. Is this a known bug? Am I missing anything? Any hints? patch is *really* essential for my work. I have to apply a huge scoop of patches before this network will run entirely. When I'm forced to apply each patch interactively I'll be busy till xmas. At the time I'm grabbing the sources of patch... Bjorn -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
