Dumb question, but I can't seem to find any real good docs on svn. How to I commit a patch to my local LinuxBIOSV2 copy??
Do you want to commit something to a repository, or do you just want to patch your local checkout?
To merge a patch into your local svn checkout you can use the 'patch' tool. Check out the man page for specifics -- but you'll basically run something like:
patch /path/to/file /patch/to/patchfile.patch
Here's a couple of examples: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/HOWTO_Patch
Thanks for the help. To be specific I want to test the fedora core 8 patch. So I would just do a:
patch ../LinuxBIOSv2 /patch/to/patchfile.patch
because the patch was supposed to be created at the top of the LB tree?
Thanks - Joe
