How do you apply a patch? I am running debian woody and installed
dbmail-mysql via apt-get.
Yuk :-)
Install dbmail from testing. Or better yet, if you want to apply John's patch you'll have to use the unstable
packages available at:
deb http://debian.nfgd.net/debian unstable main
apt-get source dbmail-mysql
For this add also:
deb-src http://debian.nfgd.net/debian unstable main
and do
apt-get source dbmail
apt-get build-dep dbmail
save patchfile in debian/
Well actually in debian/patches/
You will also have to edit the file debian/patches/00list and enter the name of John's patch. There's a small
chance this patch will break on the preforking patch.
dpkg-buildpackage
and keep your fingers crossed.
Since you're running woody I'm pretty sure this will not work however. The debconf stuff *will* break, and
some build-dependencies may also be unavailable. Consider upgrading to testing.
