bunzip2 -qck vim-7.0.tar.bz2 | tar x gunzip -qc vim-7.0-lang.tar.gz | tar x gunzip -qc vim-7.0-extra.tar.gz | tar x mkdir vim70/patches wget -r -l 1 -nc -nd -P vim70/patches "ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/"; patch -s -t -d vim70 -p0 -i patches/7.0.001 patch -s -t -d vim70 -p0 -i patches/7.0.001 patch -s -t -d vim70 -p0 -i patches/7.0.001 patch -s -t -d vim70 -p0 -i patches/7.0.001 etc... I have a loop that executes the patch command for all files named 7.0.* in the vim70/patches directory. But since I am compiling under Windows XP, I can't tell how to program that loop under unix/linux. With best regards Mathias
