Re: [Fault-injection-developer] RE: [PATCH 0/3] FITH patch against 2.5.47

[Rusty L. <ru...@li...>]

So I guess you are saying that you have something like:
/a/a1/linux/
/b/b1/linux/

and you want to build a patch without having to make the rest of the world
reproduce the directory structure you happen to be using?

Why not just add a symbolic link to b/b1/linux, so:

cd /a/a1
ln -s /b/b1/linux hacked_linux

and then create you patch by
cd /a/a1/
patch -urN linux hacked_linux
