Hi,
I have a question about using patch v2.5 (under bash 1.14.7 with djgpp
2.03 and MS-DOS 5.0).
I have a large patch file for a set of programs that is intended to
upgrade the files from v2.06 to v2.08. The patch file contains many
patches, not all for the same files.
Suppose I want to update a single file. My experience suggests that
patch cannot extract the relevant patch(es) from the larger patchfile
and apply them; instead I must copy the relevant patches to another
patchfile, specific to the program to be patched, and then apply that
(program-specific) patchfile.
Is this correct? Or can patch update individual files *without* my
needing to extract the patches individually?
TIA,
jtw
