I am trying to compile a debian package from source. I can go to the package's web page and get the original source along with the diff. How do I apply the patch?
If I do a $ tar zxf wu-ftpd_2.6.0.orig.tar.gz $ zcat wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.diff.gz | patch -p1 can't find file to patch at input line 3 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |--- wu-ftpd-2.6.0.orig/src/ftpcount.c |+++ wu-ftpd-2.6.0/src/ftpcount.c -------------------------- File to patch: I am interested in the wu-ftpd package. http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/source/net/wu-ftpd_2.6.0.orig.tar.gz http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/source/net/wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.diff.gz brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/
