Subject: How do you apply patches to source code?
Date: Mon, 26 May 2003 21:03:14 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bass5l$5fk$1@main.gmane.org> (raw)

I have recently obtained the source code to an application as a .src.rpm
file.  I have unbundled the code into /usr/src/RPMS/SOURCES.  There are a
whole lot of .patch.bz2 files in the directory, as well as the main .tar.bz2
file.

How do I compile the program with the patches?

I realise this is probably an easy one, but I can't find any documentation
about applying patches.

Robert.
