Hi everybody!
While upgrading my system to ST 1.5.0 I ran into the following problem:
I had unpacked the cdiffs in the src/fs directory and tried to patch
the 1.1 files. I entered
for i in *.cdif; do patch <$i ; done .
patch processed most of the diffs without error but it broke on 8 of
them with messages that said something like:
|*** anyfile.xyz
|--- anyotherfile.xyz
------------------------
Patching file anyotherfile.xyz using Plan A ...
Hunk #1 succeeded at 4.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 10.
Hunk #3 succeeded at 15.
Hunk #4 succeeded at 25.
Hmm... The next patch looks like a new-style context diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------------
|-
--------------------------------

and then there is an error message saying,that it can't patch this file.

I have tried this with a patch 2.0 patchlevel 12 that I got from the net
some months ago, compiled with the PC 1.4a lib and with a binary of
patch 2.0 patchlevel 11 that was posted as official ATARI patch.
The output is almost the same except that 2.0#12 just quits, while
the 2.0#11 asks for a file to patch.
I could not compile the version delivered with the upgrade package yet
because there is some header missing in ST 1.1 (as for as i remember
while typing this).
Has anybody else had this problem when doing the upgrade? And is there
a quick remedy?
