I just started from fresh files and tried both methods of appying the
patch, one more along your lines and the other from Alain S.
Here is the whole session with some ** comments
e220r% pwd
/home/gavin/tools
e220r% ls
john-1.7.2-ntlm-alainesp-6.1.diff.gz
john-1.7.2-mscash-alainesp-4.1.diff john-1.7.2.tar
john-1.7.2-mscash-alainesp-4.1.diff.gz
e220r% ** this should be everything I need so here we go**
e220r%
e220r% tar -xf john-1.7.2.tar
e220r% cp *.gz john-1.7.2/
e220r% cp john-1.7.2-mscash-alainesp-4.1.diff john-1.7.2/
e220r% cd john-1.7.2
e220r% ls
doc README
john-1.7.2-mscash-alainesp-4.1.diff run
john-1.7.2-mscash-alainesp-4.1.diff.gz src
john-1.7.2-ntlm-alainesp-6.1.diff.gz
e220r% pwd
/home/gavin/tools/john-1.7.2
*** now from inside the main john-1.7.2 directory I'll run Alains
suggestion on the unzipped diff file
e220r% patch -p1 < john-1.7.2-mscash-alainesp-4.1.diff
Looks like a unified context diff.
File to patch:
220r% ** it stops there asking for the file to patch unlike yours which
seems to know what and where to find. I cancel that and then run the
more full version of the patch command on the still compressed file.
Same end result. Now I don't understand the impact of the different "p"
modifiers, 1 in Alain's case and 0 in others?
e220r% gunzip -dc john-1.7.2-mscash-alainesp-4.1.diff.gz | patch -p0
Looks like a unified context diff.
File to patch:
220r%
