Does anybody know something better than patch(1) when a patch fails?
I often have to struggle hard to understand why a patch does not
apply, patch(1) just rejects it.
For instance one of my patches produced a
~/src/am % wc automake.in.rej nostromo 14:42
277 1102 7161 automake.in.rej
solely because there was a
$foo = '0'
in the patch which is now
$foo = 0
in automake.in.
Having to compare the .rej and the .orig to understand what goes wrong
is a real PITA. Is there any tool which would make my life easier on
this point?
