If there are commits to any of the files touched by the patch after the patch date, then the patch may not apply properly, or the result may not work correctly. However, in this case Martin generally produces an updated patch-set within a fairly short amount of time. To obtain a copy of the stable sources as of a specific date, depends on how you're getting the sources. csup(1) or cvsup(1) has a date parameter which you can add to your sup-file. See csup(1). svn has a number of options for checking out previous revisions. Either work out the revision corresponding to the date you want, or give the date like so: svn co -r '{ 2010-01-14 }' Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matthew@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW --------------enig02CC3976FEC9C1196632C15A Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.16 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0wvLcACgkQ8Mjk52CukIxBBACfa4l4xvdRin2voWLQ7yw2NTwC zO0An0nDXbfwR402+/QgCxuVN/1XzhAc =YyNU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig02CC3976FEC9C1196632C15A--
