This is because Jason is using cvs to track changes, and it replaced the original "Cort" 1.130.2.6 $Id string with a "jason" 1.1.1.1 one from the date he imported it locally. It doesn't mean that the rest of the file is necessarily different, and he stated that the diff is against the one in mpc8xx-2.2.13. Patch should reject this first hunk when you go to apply it, but all the others should apply OK; otherwise, you've got a problem. > ...or could I be really dangerous and fudge the current head.S file I have > to make the new patch *think* it's the 2000/01/03 version....I really don't > have a clue as to what changes/additions/subtractions that have taken place > between October and January... You don't have to fudge it. Just ignore the fact the the first hunk doesn't apply.
