>Number: 1787 >Category: gnu >Synopsis: Diffs with Index: lines are not honored for new files >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: high >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun Oct 13 12:10:00 PDT 1996 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Ollivier Robert >Organization: Usenet Canal Historique >Release: FreeBSD 2.2-961004-SNAP i386 >Environment: Not really relevant >Description: When one uses /usr/bin/patch to bring perl5.003_05 up to perl5.003_07 with the diffs, new files are created in the current directory instead of the right place specified by both the "***/---" lines and the "Index:" line. patch-2.1.tar.gz from any GNU mirror sites doesn't have the problem. >How-To-Repeat: Get perl5.003_05.tar.gz from CPAN Get perl5.003_06.pat.gz and perl5.003_07.pat.gz from CPAN as well and try to apply them. Configure will note that the files are missing and yell. >Fix: Maybe update our patch or re-import patch-2.1 in contrib. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
