I apologize, but I somehow sent this from gmail prematurely. I am having issues with patch working properly with the patches in bash-4.3-patches. Admittedly, I don't use patch very often, but having asked on freenode ##bash and others telling me they are not having issues, they suggested I post this here.
I've seen similar issues using patch 2.7.1 and patch 2.6. My two directories are bash-4.3 and bash-4.3-patches. >From inside bash-4.3 and using patch 2.7.1 I do: # patch -p0 < ../bash-4.3-patches/bash43-001 And I get back Ignoring potentially dangerous file name ../bash-4.3/test.c patching file test.c Ignoring potentially dangerous file name ../bash-4.3/patchlevel.h patching file patchlevel.h With patch 2.6, I get similar errors, and then a request for "File to patch: " Regards, Matt Gessner
