[vchkpw] Malformed patch
Hi, I am setting up Bincimap with qmail/vpopmail and thought I would try out IMAPdir, as described in Update to vpopmail to support Maildir on the Wiki at http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/HelpMe/QmailVpopmail So, I downloaded the patch (from the above URL), which should modify vpopmail so such that it will create a IMAPdir (instead of a Maildir) depot when a new users is added. However, when I try to apply the patch I get a malformed patch error at line 62: patching file vpopmail.c patch: malformed patch at line 62: @@ -2040,6 +2091, 18 @@ I wasn't sure whether I should ask here or on the Binc list, so I posted the question to the Binc list first. However, this is probably more of a vpopmail issue, which is why I am posting here as well. Anyway, Hansen (the author of Binc) responsed that: Quote: The patch shouldn't be malformed still ;-). I hope Felix can answer this question. End of quote However, it still seems to be misformed though. Could this error be related to the vpopmail version I am using (v. 5.4.0)?
