[LARTC] Problems patching kernel 2.4.19-r9

[LARTC] Problems patching kernel 2.4.19-r9

[jb]

A question about the tc binary and diff file that are
included in htb3.6-020525.tgz. I can't seem to patch tc
in the source tree, and that has made me hesitate to
alternatively substitute the native /usr/sbin/tc for
the binary supplied with the patch materials. I'm
running kernel 2.4.19-r9, and when I run 

xingu:/usr/src/linux #patch -p1 --dry-run <
../htb3.6.tc.diff

the result is:

patching file tc/q_htb.c
can't find file to patch at input line 312
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
------------------
|--- iproute2/tc/Makefile     Tue Jul 6 1999
|+++ iproute2new/tc/Makefile  Thu May 9 2002
------------------
File to patch:

Does anyone know what's going on here and how I can
proceed safely?

Thanks for any advice.

You want to patch iproute2.  So download the iproute2 source and patch it :)  
You are trying to patch the kernel source.

iproute2 source :
ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/

:( Background explanation: The HTB on-line manual says
simply: "Also you will have to use patched tc tool." To
my newbie eye, this is vague and incomplete, hence my
query.

Answer: In fact, I have iproute-20010824-r1 in the
sources. No matter, the output is the same:

Upon trying again to "dry-run" patch from within
/usr/src/linux and responding either "iproute2" or
"iproute" to the returned query "File to patch:", both
tests return "No such file or directory".

Please allow me one further question:  As I do not wish
to design complicated traffic-shaping rules for now,
could I simply use the earlier version of HTB (HTB2 ?)
which is already in the 2.4.19-9 kernel I have
installed? I understand that the commands may be
different. If using this earlier version is feasible,
please point me to the command reference.

I have learned much in a very short time from reading
the recent postings of Stef Coene and others on the
LARTC. Thank you to you and everyone participating on
the list.

I don't know about 2.4.19-9, but if you use 2.4.20-pre6 or newer,
the procedure is as follows:

$ wget http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/v3/htb3.6-020525.tgz
$ tar xfz iproute2-2.4.7-now-ss010824.tar.gz
$ mkdir htb
$ tar xCfz htb htb3.6-020525.tgz
$ patch -s -p1 -d iproute2 <htb/htb3.6_tc.diff

J.B. - I 100% agree with you! :)

I would again like to point out to everyone what a fantastic resource this
is!!!

I know the work you do goes without thanks most of the time.

I have been trying to follow this forum every day for about the last 3
months.

I still don't know enough about the subject to be of much use to anyone
but I'm learning.

Never give up! :)

Cheers DiG
