The patches were written exclusively for the FreeBSD ports system, which used the FreeBSD version of patch, which had certain documented behavior. We are FreeBSD, not GNU. Many of our utilities are different from the GNU versions. It is perfectly reasonable to rely on that. Otherwise, we might as well just merge with Linux. > Please fix ***/---/+++ lines file names to match > Index: line. > > modula-3-socks > virtualpager Please fix these two yourself. As you say, it should be easy. I don't have time for this fire drill right now. If you can't or don't want to build and test them, then it would probably be sufficient in this case just to verify that the patches apply cleanly again.
