As discussed here:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/sage-
devel/browse_thread/thread/c566520374106df3
[http://www.gnu.org/software/patch/ GNU patch] is to be added as a
standard package to Sage, to allow the use of 'patch' to be used to make
patches, rather than to us 'cp' as now.
A new package may be found here
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/patch-2.5.9.spkg
In order to test this spkg, you could also try installing a new Sphinx
spkg using ''patch'':
[http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/sphinx-1.0.4.p3.spkg]
(there is a corresponding .p1 using ''cp'', see #10118 for the Sphinx
upgrade).
Once this is done, the [http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/ Sage
Developers Guide] will need to be updated to reflect a new method to
create patches. A separate ticket #9419 has been opened for that.
