Awhile ago I submitted a PR with a patch in it. Today I was thinking that I would clean it up, and since I didn't keep a copy of the earlier patch I thought I would get it from the PR. I used 'lynx' to download the PR, and it seemed to come down correctly (tab-characters where I'd expect them, etc), but the patch did not apply. Turned out that because I was going thru a web interface, things like '<', '>', and '&' were changed to html-safe equivalents. Good for HTML, bad for C. So, my dumb question is, how DO you pull patches out of a PR? --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
