Hi, > gene@coyote:~/Debian-arm/linux$ patch -p1 ../patches/*.patch > patch: ../patches/0001-mm-memcg-Disable-threshold-event-handlers-on- > PREEMPT.patch: extra operand
man patch says patch [options] [originalfile [patchfile]] With "patchfile" being singular i'd expect that it refuses if you give more than one. Further it does not look as if you give an "originalfile", which is demanded by the common []-bracket around "originalfile [patchfile]". So what file do you want to change by the patch ? Does ../patches/*.patch evaluate to a single file ? (I get that error if i give three dummy file arguments. If i give two i get a lot of "Hunk ... FAILED at .." because my second file is no properly formatted patch. If i give one, the program waits for standard input.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
