Just for my own curiosity is it possible to solve this problem by branching the module that contains the patch?
You would have a nasty time merging it back togehter, but this is better than having a copy of the entire tree locally for each patch? Isn't this what branching is for? Am I missing something? -Daniel -----Original Message----- From: Eddie Bush [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 3:32 PM To: Struts Developers List Subject: Selective diff? Problem: I've got a pending patch on RequestUtils already for selectApplication. I also made another modification (added getApplicationPrefix to return the current module prefix) to RequestUtils while bringing the validator into 1.1-compliance. This means I have two different bugs I need to pick certain changes out for selectively. Question: Is there a way I can tell cvs diff -u to give me just a certain section as a patch - or is it possible for me to modify the patch to exclude the already posted patch for selectApplication? Not being 110% familiar with how the diff does it's thing (and noticing there is apparantly some config up top telling it where to apply the patch), I'm reluctant to believe it's a simple matter of editing the patch file. Should I then have a seperate CVS tree for each patch - which only contains changes relevant to a given bug? (Man - that's a nasty solution, but it's the best one I can come up with! That's certainly a lot of work just to keep changes seperate!) -- Eddie Bush -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
