Rather than hijack the original thread i'll quote in a new one. ;-) Just how does one go about applying patches? I've read man patch and I think I understood it better before reading the man page. Is the patch command only used with diff files? An example would sure help. I'm not out to patch BitTorrent per se, but that would be a good example to use if someone could give me some pointers. I'm quite comfortable on the command line, there's just still a lot I haven't learned even after 2 years. Thanks in advance.
