Applying patches from the tracker?

[vedrit]

it keeps talking about command lines, but never, not once, does it say where to type in the commands. Very frustating for a n00b like me. Do I use MACs console?

[BTAxis]

You can't expect us to explain every basic step to you. If you don't know how to enter commands on a command line on a mac, look it up.

[vedrit]

Which is what Im talking about! For someone in my position, wanting to test out patches that arent in the game, but has no experience with MACs, this is a completely confusing situation, and everything either has to be easy, or explained.

[BTAxis]

I do believe there are sufficient instructions for working with svn and blender. But the instructions all assume SOME basic knowledge, like what a command line is. Like I said, you can't expect it to tech you everything from scratch. It isn't teaching you to read, for example.

If you don't have experience with macs, that's not a crime. But you can easily get up to speed by reading a tutorial somewhere, for example here. Or maybe there are even help forums or IRC channels for that, I don't know.

hm....i thought i edited one of my posts....
I used Fink to install the components (svn, svn-ssl, etc), though there was an error trying to install one of the db43 packages. I think I managed to get it installed, but Im not sure the client works, since when I type in the "svn co https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/trunk" command, I get an error saying svn: ssl is not supported

[vedrit]

sorry for the double post, but Im having a problem getting the svn client and ssl to install. Its says that db43-shlibs-4.3.29-1001 could not not be installed, even though when I install that package directly, it installs just fine.

What version of osx are you using?

With leopard and tiger they came with subversion built in.

Hello,

Not mac subject, but window...  I downloaded the patch from SVN  and looked up (using search patch and .diff) found instructions, something about making patch, but am stumped on "how to apply existing patch."

Here is what i thought ... download patch, run the SVN program (using SmartSVN program),  select button-submenu, enter the patch.

Apparently I am wrong!!! cause can not find something about that... 

Is there a page explaining how to apply patch to my current SVN?

It`s depended on type of patch. some patches are applied via svn, some via "patch" or "diff" utility. Can you provide link to patch?

Hello,

not sure how to provide the file (generated my patch).  Trying this as attachment. If I need to do this different, give me a yell!


using Window XP, with 2.3 dev rev 27496. This .diff file is generated through SmartSvn 6.  The other I have been attempting is the wound-medic patch file that i thought might be a good read.

If this was all wrong.. then i still need to read document somewhere and learn your patching system.

edit: here is the forum section i referred to (the medikits.diff) http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=4282.msg32678#msg32678

please use the patch tracker at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=805244&group_id=157793&func=browse - otherwise your patch might get lost in the nirvana of the board

Hello Mattn. 

I am asking how to "apply the" patch.  Kildor said depends on what kind of patch and asked to see the patches.

So in response to your concern, I do not care if my patch "gets lost".

Look *twice* in the menues of your SmartSVN.
If it really doesn't support to apply a patch, switch to TortoiseSVN.

[rynait]

Hello

Ah patching function is part of SVN software.  I will look twice as you suggested. 

Thanks.
