Just to answer the basic question of how to apply a patch take a quick glance at the patch to determine: 1. Does it make sense to install it 2. Determine from what dir you need to install it from (the filenames will give a good clue) Then to apply it cd to that dir and do: patch -p < [file] where [file] is the filename of the patch (don't forget to reference its patch if needed also) If the patch is for something in /usr/src or /usr/src/sys use the normal methods of rebuilding world or the kernel. Disclaimer: c(v)sup will ignore the fact you patched a file and will overwrite it. You have two options at this point: 1. Repatch after csup is done [often hard to tell if you need to] 2. Use some variant of the method in development(8) to create your own local cvs repo of the source tree then update the actual /usr/src with cvs not c(v)sup because it understands how to preserve your changes while adding new content to the fileReceived on Mon Sep 01 2008 - 03:41:16 UTC
