Need patch policy help 40 weeks 4 days ago

I'm working on developing a patch policy for a mid-size and quickly growing company. Patches have been at the bottom of the totem pole for years. I possess the ability and care enough to straighten it out. However I'd like some others input on the best way to handle the patch policy.

DM-ioband 2 years 40 weeks ago

Hi,

I am a linux newbie. I was trying to install dm-ioband on a fedora 13 OS with Linux kernel 2.6.32.21. I apply the patch. Compile the modules and give module_install. When I do modprobe, it says dm-ioband module not found. When i checked the Kconfig file inside the drivers folder, i cannot find the dm_ioband patch applied to that file.

If I check out a project (cvs), go to town editing the source code, and come to a point where I want to submit a patch, I have nothing to patch against! What is the typical procedure for doing this? Do I have to check out the old source again into a different directory and use it to create the patch from? That seems quite awkward... can anyone comment?

Thanks,

Dave

APKTool and applying a patch 27 weeks 10 hours ago

Hi there, I'm trying to apply a patch following the instructions from here: https://github.com/loganakamatsu/Spo...ster/README.md

However, once I get to the second step (applying the patch), it's pretty vague as to what steps I should take to run the command. Take a look at the picture for more info. Should I just put the patch file in the Spotify directory?
