Patching eggdrop

Post by Mogour »

I tried to patch the eggdrop to the new version (from 1.6.18. to 1.6.19)

I downloaded the patch and made:

patch -p1 < ../path.to.the/patch
But if I do this:
Once this is complete, execute the following command:

find . -name "*.rej" -print
I just get:
find: ./.maildir/.Junk: Permission denied
Any ideas?

If it returns a list with filenames ending with .rej extension, then the patch didn't apply properly. Ensure that the patch is intended for your version and that you have the original source. You should also try to re-download the patch to ensure that the patch is not corrupted.
Fairly easy to figure out, since you didn't get any .rej files the patch worked.

You also have to recompile after patching.......

Hmm oki, it worked now.

One last question:

Can I rename the folder eggdrop1.6.18 to eggdrop1.6.19 or will this cause any problems?

It should cause any problems, however it might cause some problems if you have scripts in which you have the directory set as a path (for example: set pathtofile "~/eggdrop1.6.18/path"). In case you have, you must update the paths.
