Except that: 1) It has been policy for years, and is still current policy, that the patch name match the package name (version included) i.e., dhcp-3.0.3.tar.gz dhcp-3.0.3-some_patch-1.patch 2) It prevents one from pulling out old sources by saying cp my_source_dir/dhcp-3.0.3* . and knowing you have all the stuff you need. 3) It is just different than how it has *always* been done. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 21:24:00 up 32 days, 9:01, 1 user, load average: 0.04, 0.09, 0.05 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
