#63 patch: **** Can't rename file AGAIN!
I'm trying to patch GVIM sources on my machine with
WinXP Pro installed (tested with patch-2.5.4-1 and
patch-2.5.7-alpha):
patch.exe -p0 < 6.1.1-100
After executing this command I'm receiving an error:
patching file src/edit.c
patch: **** Can't create file 'C:
\WINDOWS\TEMP/poa01996' : File exists
From time to time there is another error:
patch.exe: **** Can't rename file 'C:
\WINDOWS\TEMP/poa01224' to src/edit.c : File exists
Test runs successful if I'm adding the option 'dry-run' to
the command line:
patch.exe --dry-run -p0 < 6.1.1-100
I tried to 'escape' wrong slash using 'quoting-style'
option, but this does not helps. Don't you know: what
may be wrong?
Thank you.

Could it be that the files to be patched are read-only? Then
patch may fail to move a temporary file to the original one.

No, I checked this twice. The sources to be patched and the
diffs are not read-only. And I have full access to the sources
and to c:\windows\temp. What else may be wrong? (It's
interesting, that I can patch these sources on my home
machine with WinXP, but can't do the same on work machine
with WinXP (the same configuration)).
There is a log:
C:\VIM\vim61>D:\TOOLS\GNUWIN32\PATCH\bin\patch.exe -p0
< 6.1.1-100
patching file src/edit.c
patch: **** Can't create file 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/poa01224' :
File exists
C:\VIM\vim61>attrib src\edit.c
A C:\VIM\vim61\src\edit.c
There is no such a file (poa01224) in c:\windows\temp. (I
think it is not even created. Maybe the problem is in wrong
'slash'?).

A new release of patch-2.5.4 is available from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/. I hope it fixes the problems
you reported. Could you test this?

No, sorry, it seems the problem still exists:
C:...\CPP\VIM\vim61>patch.exe -p0 --verbose <D:
\PATCHES\6.1.1-100
Hmm... Looks like a new-style context diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:

The only way that I can reproduce this is when src\edit.c
indeed already exists, and the 'cannot rename' message is
then a valid one.
Could you perhaps provide a small example of a diff file and a
file to be patched, together with the appropriate command
line, that shows the bug?

Excuse me, it seems I don't understand smth important. I'm
patching Gvim sources. The sources are in .\src subdirectory.
And yes, the file .\src\edit.c exists - it is the file that is
patched!
The command line and the patch and the program output are
partially available in my last comment. If there is smth wrong
with them?
As far as I understand the patch is firstly applied in
windows\temp directory and then patched file is copied over
the original file (src\edit.c). And this works on one of my
machines, but generates error 'Can't rename file' on another
one (I don't know why).
Am I doing smth wrong?
Thank you for your help!
