I'm trying to apply the patches to my BIND 8.3.3 source code from
<http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/patches/bind833.diff>
I've never used the 'patch' command before, but the man page for it
makes it seem as though it will accept the patches from the above
diff file and apply them.
As a test, I took one of the patches and placed it in a file and did the
following:
# patch -b -i db_defs_patch.txt
Hmm... I can't seem to find a patch in there anywhere.
The file it was supposed to patch (db_defs.h) was located in the same
directory. The man page said that if the "Index:" was in the patch file,
then it would know which file to patch, so I figured I didn't need to
supply it as a parameter to 'patch'.
Have I forgottten a flag or can anyone spot my mistake?
the contents of my db_defs_patch.txt file are:
Index: bin/named/db_defs.h
