Patch won't apply

Patch won't apply

[Jérôme Poulin]

I just downloaded the kernel-2.6.12-rc3-mm3, the latest snapshot from
iptables and pom-ng (2005-05-09) and I tried to apply ./runme extra,
only 4 patchs were suited for my kernel, others won't apply saying
they "does not match your source trees". The 4 to apply were "set",
"connrate" (with 3 rejects / 4 hunks), "goto" and "h323-conntrack".

I compared them and found out all the patchs not having a Requires:
line in their info file were not matching, so I added Requires:
linux-2.6 >= 2.6.10  to all the patch I know were working in my last
kernel and it worked, they applied. I think the runme script is broken
or something because it always worked perfectly before.

Just found out what caused the problem! It seems that patch in the SVN
which was done 4 days ago broke the versionning completely, reverting
it repaired the problem on my side.
