I am trying to apply a patch to a tource tarball
I have a source tar file checkpw_1.00.orig.tar and a corresponding patch file
checkpw_1.00-3.diff
Here is what is happening:
mark@venus:/u/dev01/checkpw$ ls
checkpw_1.00-3.diff checkpw_1.00.orig.tar
mark@venus:/u/dev01/checkpw$ patch checkpw_1.00.orig.tar checkpw_1.00-3.diff
patching file checkpw_1.00.orig.tar
patching file run
patching file errno.diff
patching file changelog
patching file checkapoppw.8
patching file checkpw.8
patching file checkpw.README.Debian
patching file checkpw.docs
patching file checkpw.examples
patching file control
patching file copyright
patching file implicit
patching file interface.html
patching file rules
patching file run
patching file run
mark@venus:/u/dev01/checkpw$ ls
changelog checkpw.8 control interface.html
checkapoppw.8 checkpw.docs copyright rules
checkpw_1.00-3.diff checkpw.examples errno.diff run
checkpw_1.00.orig.tar checkpw.README.Debian implicit
I wasn't expecting to see all these files present. I was just expecting a
revised .tar file.
Has patch extracted everything from the .tar archive ? or do I need to extract
it now ?
Can I just remove the .diff and .tar file to be left with the resultant source
for modification ?
Is it possible for patch to just apply the .diff to update the tar file without
extracting any files ?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Regards,
Mark.
