[orca-list] Applying Patches

[Paul Hunt <huntp ukonline co uk>]

Hi all,

I need some help with applying patches from bugzilla to Orca.

I have the Orca git repo cloned in ~/apps/orca and it's currently 
pointed at the head of the master branch.

I want to test the opentts patch Steve made (attached to bug 618927).

I followed the instructions at http://live.gnome.org/Orca/HowCanIHelp 
which tells you how to write a function to put in your ~/.bashrc that 
will download patches for you.

I had to change the URL because it seems that it has changed since the 
function was written but I've got it working now and I've got the patch 
in my /apps/orca/patches directory.

But when I go to my apps/orca directory and try to apply it with the command

patch -p0 < patches/patch.161312

it fails.

The openttsfactory file is created, although it doesn't go into the 
src/orca directory it goes into a directory called b/src/orca, and the 
single line changes to Makefile.am and settings.py are rejected.

Can someone help?  I'd like to get onboard helping out with the switch 
to opentts for Orca.

Cheers.
Paul
