Are you having difficulty applying patches created with
'cvs diff $OPTS $DIR'? I ask because I could not figure out how
to apply a cvs created diff -- meaning that 'patch -p0 < file.diff'
could not find the source file to patch.
Question to the knowledgeable readership:
How do I (without manually entering each file's name) apply a
'cvs diff ...' created patch?
TIA,
