Hi,

I want to patch the RedHat Kernel RPM.

How do I generate a single patch file from patch-o-matic which can be applied to an src.rpm ?

# pom2patch - create a normal unified diff (patch) from patch-o-matic

included in the patch-o-matic directory

syntax is:

pom2patch my_kernel_source_dir submitted/00_foo.patch

(you have to run it seperately for every patch-o-matic patch)

Thanks a lot.

I had tried the same command line except the full path to the patch :(
