Hi, I wanted to swap from dump to tar for my backups and figured if I'm going to recompile amanda, I might as well upgrade from 2.4.1p1 to 2.4.2p2. I have downloaded the 2.4.2p2 software, gnutar, gnupatch2.5 and the two patches advfs and stream client for amanda 2.4.2p2. I am running amanda on two servers and about 30 clients all tru64 boxes versions 4.0d- 4.0g.
I am having problems getting the patches in, regardless of all the information in the mail archives I keep coming up with 2 errors. One tells me the patch can't be located (o.k. so I changed the -p option a few times, still can't figure out where it wants it) and the 2nd problem is: # /usr/local/inst/gnu/patch-2.5/bin/patch -p1 < ../advfs.patch.dif patching file `getfsent.h' Hunk #1 FAILED at 54. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to getfsent.h.rej patching file `getfsent.c' Hunk #1 FAILED at 1. Hunk #2 FAILED at 144. Hunk #3 FAILED at 186. Hunk #4 FAILED at 438. Hunk #5 FAILED at 488. Hunk #6 FAILED at 532. Hunk #7 FAILED at 545. Hunk #8 FAILED at 558. Hunk #9 FAILED at 617. Hunk #10 FAILED at 626. 10 out of 10 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to getfsent.c.rej What am I doing wrong? Should the patch diff file be in the top level directory or the directory where the src is (e.g. client-src, common-src)or is this irrelevant depending on which -p parameter is used. What are all these hunk failed messages? Any help would be appreciated, I've been playing with this for a few days now and am getting pretty frustrated with what may be my own stupidity.
