Apparently, uploading patches to Trac causes a change in the line ending characters (cr, lf chars). After downloading the patch from Trac, and then applying it, there are messages about it having to strip cr/lf chars from the patch. This doesn't happen applying the one Alexander sent me.
Actually, this is probably wholly my fault, and not Trac. Yesterday I did this on my work desktop, which is sadly, Windows. So I had downloaded the patch Alexander sent to my Windows box and then uploaded it from there. I know Windows likes to use different conventions than Unix, especially with newlines - I'm thinking that even though I didn't edit the file manually, that perhaps Windows, seeing it was a text file, saved it in its own format when it saved the attachment.
I know the above is just a guess and not very technically accurate. So, I'll probably do a test here soon with a fake ticket to see if that is indeed the case.
Sorry for the trouble, and thanks Randy for helping set it straight. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
