Message-ID: <20020630065543.GA28541@ids.org.au> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-0.1 required=5.0 tests=SUBJ_ENDS_IN_Q_MARK version=2.20 X-Spam-Level: Sender: owner-linux-xfs@oss.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Hi, I just tried to apply this patch to my 2.4.18 tree: ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/patches/2.4.18/xfs-2.4.18-all-i386.bz2 After extracting the patch, it seems that the diff had "line wrapping" applied to it. It won't patch, because lines longer than 72 characters have had carriage returns inserted into it, and patch breaks as a result. I had a copy of the patch on another machine from a few months ago, and that works fine. I pretty sure that i didnt do anything stupid to the patch (I downloaded it again to make sure), so perhaps someone wants to check this? cheers, Ian. -- Ian Cumming, ian@semisphere.org "The number of Unix installations has grown to 10, with more expected." -- The Unix Programmer's Manual, 2nd Edition, June, 1972
