The Makefile and config.h files in this directory work with the current
|
||
|
|
BSD release. Don't run the Configure script, you'll get wrong results.

Patch Kit, Version 2.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copyright (c) 1986, Larry Wall
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may copy the patch kit in whole or in part as long as you don't try to
|
||
|
|
make money off it, or pretend that you wrote it.
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please read all the directions below before you proceed any further, and
|
||
|
|
then follow them carefully. Failure to do so may void your warranty. :-)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After you have unpacked your kit, you should have all the files listed
|
||
|
|
in MANIFEST.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) Run Configure. This will figure out various things about your system.
|
||
|
|
Some things Configure will figure out for itself, other things it will
|
||
|
|
ask you about. It will then proceed to make config.h, config.sh, and
|
||
|
|
Makefile.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You might possibly have to trim # comments from the front of Configure
|
||
|
|
if your sh doesn't handle them, but all other # comments will be taken
|
||
|
|
care of.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't have sh, you'll have to rip the prototype of config.h out
|
||
|
|
of Configure and generate the defines by hand.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) Glance through config.h to make sure system dependencies are correct.
|
||
|
|
Most of them should have been taken care of by running the Configure script.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have any additional changes to make to the C definitions, they
|
||
|
|
can be done in the Makefile, or in config.h. Bear in mind that they may
|
||
|
|
get undone next time you run Configure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will attempt to make patch in the current directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4) make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will put patch into a public directory (normally /usr/local/bin).
|
||
|
|
It will also try to put the man pages in a reasonable place. It will not
|
||
|
|
nroff the man page, however.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5) Read the manual entry before running patch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6) IMPORTANT! Help save the world! Communicate any problems and
|
||
|
|
suggested patches to me, lwall@sdcrdcf.UUCP (Larry Wall), so we can
|
||
|
|
keep the world in sync. If you have a problem, there's someone else
|
||
|
|
out there who either has had or will have the same problem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If possible, send in patches such that the patch program will apply them.
|
||
|
|
Context diffs are the best, then normal diffs. Don't send ed scripts--
|
||
|
|
I've probably changed my copy since the version you have.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Watch for patch patches in net.sources.bugs. Patches will generally be
|
||
|
|
in a form usable by the patch program. If you are just now bringing up
|
||
|
|
patch and aren't sure how many patches there are, write to me and I'll
|
||
|
|
send any you don't have. Your current patch level is shown in patchlevel.h.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NEW FEATURES IN THIS RELEASE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Correct) support for 4.3bsd-style context diffs.
|
||
|
|
Files can be created from scratch.
|
||
|
|
You can specify a fuzz-factor for context matching.
|
||
|
|
You can force patch to ask no questions.
|
||
|
|
You can specify how much of the leading pathname to strip off filenames.
|
||
|
|
Uses a Configure script for greater portability.
|
||
|
|
You are now asked if you want to apply a reversed patch.
|
||
|
|
No limit (apart from memory) on the size of hunks.
