Jake can answer you question best. He manages the patch files.

I gotta ask though, why F13? F14 is current, and F15 release is right around the corner (scheduled for 2011-05-24), which means that F13 will no longer be maintained in only a couple months (2011-06-24). See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle#Maintenance_Schedule

Fedora is generally not a good choice for a production server, due to its relatively short lifetime. CentOS is a more stable platform, and is recommended for production QMT use. CentOS5.6 just came out this past weekend, and will not reach end of life for another 3 years (2014-03-31). By then, Fedora will be up to release 20.

I think you get the picture.

At the same time, we do appreciate people who install QMT on Fedora, so we can get things like this worked out well in advance of them arriving in CentOS.

Thanks.

The patch utility uses the switch p0 and this fails, but p1 works

it fails on the new box:

    * it runs fine on the old box
          o the old box is Fedora release 12 (Constantine) 32bit
          o the new box is Fedora release 13 (Goddard) 64bit
    * patch is ...
          o patch-2.6.1-4.fc12.i686
          o patch-2.6.1-8.fc13.x86_64
    * it fails for assume all, but certainly the first 2
          o daemontools
          o ucspi-tcp-toaster

+ /usr/bin/patch -s -p0 --fuzz=0
/usr/bin/patch: **** rejecting target file name with ".." component:
../ucspi-tcp-0.88/error.h

I've been able to successfully compile by changing the switch to p1
+ /usr/bin/patch -s -p1 --fuzz=0

So do I need to mod all the srpms or is there something else ?


Thanks in advance
