If you are getting the sources by subversion, I think it means you have the
full (Unix+extra+lang) sources; in that case you can apply all patches, with
two caveats:
- apply them in ascending order;
- apply either 7.0.001-100.gz or 7.0.001 to 7.0.100 but not both sets.

What I did was (after removing the .gz):

for i in path/to/paths/7.0.*; do patch -p0 -N < $i; done

-N means patch will ignore a patch that seems to have been previously
applied rather than dragging me into a tedious yes/no session.

I updated the conversation before clicking send, and I should like to
observe that not *all* of the patches were applied. If you advise
other people on patching, please take this into account.

Either one. 't Ene of 't andere. L'un ou l'autre. (French is my mother
language but I am fairly fluent in Dutch too.) :-)

I know a few people in Flanders. I sure hope Vlaams blok disappears real soon...
