Re: Bug with Cygwin's 'quilt' is actually in 'patch'


Thank you. I took the time to make certain that I couldn't find any other lingering problems.

The update to 2.7.1 corrects the test case I submitted previously.

Thanks! :)

I've been looking further into this and it appears as though the
problem is in 'patch' not 'quilt'. quilt is actually a collection of
bash scripts and calls patch to do the actual patching.

Using the same example I provided earlier in the thread, the same
error occurs when calling patch directly:

$ patch Imakefile patches/test.patch

Running dos2unix on test.patch will allow the patch to apply
successfully. However, this is WRONG. Imakefile and the initially
created test.patch both use CRLF line endings. The patch should
definitely NOT apply by introducing actual disparity.

To summarize, the patch to Imakefile (CRLF) will apply if it is
converted to LF line endings. Using the '--binary' switch seems to
be a workaround for this issue.

I can reproduce this problem on 32 bit Cygwin but not on 64 bit Cygwin.

The 64 bit version has a newer patch version 2.7.1, while I so far
neglected to update the 32 bit version which is still on 2.6.1.  I'll
build a new patch 2.7.1 for 32 bit today.  I hope that fixes it for
32 bit as well.  Stay tuned for the announcement.

Matt?  Ping?  Does the new patch 2.7.1 help?


Thanks,
Corinna
