Hi All Makepatch
I am planning to submit the Perl-5.8.4 patches for NetWare. For that , I am using makepatch utility to create the patch. Well, I was able to create the patch using the following command without any problem. makepatch-2.00_12/script/makepatch /home/km/perl-5.8.4-source-downloaded /home/km/workarea/perl-with-changes/ > perl.patch When applied the patch using applypatch into to my source to test my patches , I found that it missed some of my new ( 3) files which are not in MANIFEST file and one old file which is in MANIFEST file . Earlier I used to create the patches without any problems as mentioned above. I tried all the options which are mentioned in the patching document. I am not sure what is happening here. Can anybody tell me what is happening here and how to correct this problem . I went through the /Porting/Patching document also. Perl-5.9.1 Is it required to send the Perl-5.8.4 and Perl-5.9.1 separately. I want to send Perl-5.8.4 patches and that should be applied to Perl-5.9.1 also. I apologize in advance , if this is a simple question as I am sending the patches first time. Have a nice day. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards K.Murugan
