Re: [Devmon] devmon hobbit patch

[Taylor L. <tl...@tr...>]

Thanks, I went ahead and manually specified the patch files using p0,
(Obviously I don't have a lot of experience using patch) but when I ran
make I got failures with the rrd files.  I can send specifics if its of
use...

If you were running patch from inside the hobbit source directory, you
should 
use -p1, e.g.:

patch -p1 <hobbit-4.2.0-devmon.patch

(sorry, I'm used to using gendiff for creating patches, if it seems more

logical to others to have the diff relative to the source directory,
I'll 
change that for the final release of devmon-0.3.0).

Yay, someone else testing it!
