i've just noticed that in my 2nd message i've screwed up the command flags. restating everything: put words.txt and con.patch in one directory, cd to that directory, and then do: $ cat con.patch | patch -sp1 --check the --check flag means "do not actually edit files, just check to see what would happen". the above test run says that the patch applies cleanly. now do: $ cat con.patch | patch -sp1 notice that now the patch actually fails, so the test run lied. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
