i couldn't find anything on bugzilla about this, so here goes. after an hour of trying to figure out why a large compile of mine wasn't working, i've narrowed it down to the "patch" command. quite simply, "patch" doesn't. i've applied a short patch file against a directory of glibc source, the command assures me that it's applying the patch, it correctly tells me where the hunks were applied, and so on. and after it's all over ... no change to the file. as a test, i replaced my standard $ patch ... < patchfile with $ patch ... --input=patchfile which should be equivalent, and *now* it tells me that the patch file is not found! exactly the same file that allegedly worked when i used stdin. can anyone enlighten me? rday
