First, I'm not using Mandriva.
I'm using Ubuntu.
I have used Linux part-time for almost 6 years until a month ago, when I
switched to using it full-time. I have installed and re-installed two
versions of Ubuntu, and finally upgraded to 10.10 (maverick) all within
a month.
I have been through two compiles and installs of
remove-duplicates-0.0.4, found out when I upgraded to Lucid (10.04) that
Evolution added remove-duplicates as an ePlugin, and have just found out
that they disabled it.
Is there a "How-to" somewhere that details (for the beginning user) how
to apply a patch... like the patch attached to
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587011 in the file
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=172408 .
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+apply+a+patch&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
basically, cd into the proper directory based on where the patch was
created and
patch -p0 < patch-file-name-here
this link http://www.linuxhq.com/patch-howto.html provides a quick
tutorial
Which version of Evolution does the patch apply to, and is the code
required still in current Evo source just not used? If the code was
removed that is needed for the patch, what else do I have to download?
you can look at the patch, and the files that it applies to in the
source that you download to see if it's already applied.
I don't recall offhand which version the patch was for
Sidebar -- Okay... stupid question -- What is needed to decide
that remove-duplicates was actually a useful function that was
highly desired, and the next release of evolution will include
the plugin again? Just asking... since someone write a patch to
re-enable it.
To this programmer (IOW me), the "patch" looks like a diff report (or a
SuperC report from my mainframe days, or a Merge report from my MS-DOS &
Windoze programming days).
it is essentially a diff, the patch program looks for the
appropriate place in the 'file to be patched' and does some checks
and inserts/removes the changes
After my upgrade to maverick, Evolution is reporting Evolution 2.30.3...
yet the IRC #evolution at irg.gnome.org channel is talking about
Evolution 2.32.0...
What original source do I need to "patch"? Where is it?
Oh yeah... how do I patch the source once I download it?
original source ->
http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/download.shtml
ubuntu source...
http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/maverick/evolution
http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/maverick/evolution-data-server
http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/maverick/xxxxxxxxxx
