Greetings,
Could someone give an example of how to patch, let's say, linux-2.2.2 to
.3?
(I've been at 2.2.3 from sources, but I want to get ready to patch .3 to
get to .4 when it comes out.)
In my case, I setup /usr/src/linux-2.2.2 and symlinked to linux. The patch
file(patch-2.2.3) is sitting in /usr/src.
The kernel howto says to do this from /usr/src:
patch -p0 < patch-2.2.3
When I do this, it deviates from the howto and asks for the file to
patch!!? I am lost as to what to do now. From other reading, it seems to
hint that the patch file needs the absolute path to the code to be
patched, but this does not seem reasonable.
I must be doing something silly here, so someone please set me straight!!
Lost in Houston.
Steve.
