RCS file: /home/ncvs/ports/Tools/scripts/patchtool.py,v ---------------------------- revision 1.10 date: 2002-04-18 17:46:42; author: obrien; state: Exp; lines: +4 -2 * Change path directory separator character back to _. The problem is "::" is it makes patch names longer, and many shells autoexpand it to "\:\:" which makes them even longer. * Note that this file uses ts=4.
