I am using dhcp-2.0b1pl26-1.i386.rpm and
dhcp-client-2.0b1pl26-1.i386.rpm (I uploaded them to redhat; they should
be in ftp://contrib.redhat.com/libc6/i386 now or soon). They work fine
for us.
diff and patch are like cousins. diff finds the differences between
files and is used to create patches. patch is a batch editor that uses
patch files to edit text files.
To create a patch, I often create an original as-distributed directory
called (for example) wizzo-orig, then create a copy of the directory
wizzo in which I edit and fix bugs. Then I go to the directory above
wizzo and wizzo-orig and do:
diff -Nur wizzo-orig wizzo > wizzo-bug-fix.patch
and there is my patch.
To apply the patch, as the user of the patch) I untar wizzo.tar.gz,
(usually into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES) creating a directory wizzo in the
process. The patch is in the directory above (/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES).
I then change to the wizzo direcotry, and do:
patch -p1 < ../wizzo-bug-fix.patch
and like magic!! All the bugs are fixed :-)
