Quoting Hans-Christoph Steiner hans@eds.org:
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
so perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option...
try "-p 2"
This is automated, so that would mean changing all the patches in packages/patches. I think it would be much easier to change that one patch to remove the path information.
i see. of course i thought of that not before clicking on send.
a more generic solution might be to pipe the diff-file through a sed script that removes all the unnecessary path information.
another note: are these patches only to be applied to the pd-sources (and NOT to any externals)? i guess currently there are just patches against the pd-sources, but wouldn't it be nice to have a generic solution that could be applied to the entire pure-data CVS? in this case, i would vote for mandatory paths relative to CVSROOT for all patches.
