There are two ways to apply a changeset.
Mechanism #1 is reliable but may destroy local changes, if there are changes to the same file. Explode the tar, uncompress files.tar, figure out where in the source tree files.tar is rooted, then copy the files in files.tar into your lps tree. HOWEVER this will overwrite locally-modified files; do NOT do it if you have local changes in the files this changeset changes. This mechanism will not delete files that the changeset schedules for deletion; this is a bug.
Mechanism #2 is a little bit more fiddly but won't destroy local changes. It won't properly add, delete, or move files added, deleted or moved by the changeset; only patch them. Explode the tar, then figure out where the changeset is rooted from. In your lps tree, cd to the corresponding source directory. Then call /path/to/changeset/ apply.sh. It will attempt to modify the local files with the patches. It will complain noisily if it has trouble applying the patches.
I recommend #1, but only ever do it to a working copy which does not have any local changes that you care about, so you do not risk overwriting your own changes.
