[Xorp-users] How to use the patch of Heiko

[Bruce Simpson]

Hello,

I've forwarded you Heiko Hund's patch for the MFEA off-list in case you 
don't already have it.

I would imagine that the patch would need to be applied via the usual 
means -- I have not tested it myself -- and I believe the patch is 
against the 1.6 release sources. Typically one would download the 
attachment to a text file, e.g. call it patch.txt, and apply as follows:

cd xorp
patch -p0 -i /path/to/your/patch.txt

Note that the '-p' argument to patch(1) determines the number of forward 
slashes in each individual diff section's file or pathname which will be 
skipped when determining which files each diff section is to be applied 
to. This is the most common cause of failure to apply a source patch in 
unified or combined diff format.

You might want to refer to the man page for patch(1) in case you get stuck.

Please Cc: further correspondence to the list, as I cannot respond 
personally.

thanks,
BMS
