Usually when applying patches from a prior version, there are at most only minor line number offsets. Occasionally there are more serious conflicts that have to be resolved by hand, but this is normally not difficult if you understand what the patch is doing. The only way to know is to apply the patches and see the results. if the patch command doesn't complain, that patch is good. if it complains only about line # offsets, it's almost certainly still good, and you can diff the .orig file the patch command makes with the new file to get a new patch with correct line numbers. If it complains about failed hunks, you have to manually examine the .rej file to see the problems and figure out how to fix them. Often the changed code is good, but the patch fails because one of the adjacent lines changed. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
