You can force edit it (see the other answers), but I think the best way to "edit" a patch, is to duplicate the source directory, apply the patch on one copy, edit this copy of the source files, then invoke diff to create a new patch. cp -r src src-orig cd src patch -p1 < ../modifs.patch emacs * cd .. diff -Naur src-orig src > newmodifs.patch -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ You never feed me. Perhaps I'll sleep on your face. That will sure show you. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
