[hobbit] allinone and other patch on Debian?

[Calvey, Mike]

This may clarify:

From Sourceforge you can download the platform independent version of
Hobbit (hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz) or a platform specific version
(Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb).

If you use the hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz --> unzip it and untar it you get all
the files under the hobbit-4.2.0 directory.

Having a look at the first few lines of the "allinone.patch" using an
editor (see below) you will note the reference to the hobbit-4.2.0
directory: 

	diff -urN
/home/henrik/hobbit/release/hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay/bbgen.h
./bbdisplay/bbgen.h
	--- /home/henrik/hobbit/release/hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay/bbgen.h
2006-	08-09 22:09:54.000000000 +0200
	+++ ./bbdisplay/bbgen.h 2006-10-03 13:52:28.000000000 +0200

So when you run `patch -p0 <allinone.patch` it applies the patch to
files below the hobbit-4.2.0 directory.

Now... the platform specific version Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb is
installed by dpkg does not have this hobbit-4.2.0 directory. This can be
seen by "dpkg -L Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb" to list the contents
of the package.

Also dpkg keeps the status of the install, the file list etc. Installing
the patch via the source code with the usual configure, make etc will
not update the dpkg data.

So the problem is how does one apply the "allinone.patch" to a Hobbit
installation, installed with dpkg and Debian31-hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb??

Hope this makes the problem clearer...

?
Mike.

I'm not really sure I get your question, chances are you are looking
for "apt-get source hobbit".

FYI, there is a package in Debian/experimental using the 4.3 tree
(though somewhat outdated). I don't recommend using it in production,
but it might be worth a look.
