Hi Matthias,

Thank you for your info,

I do follow the same procedure normally when I want to modify source and
compile it,
but, my requirement is applying a patch to the existing source package
without extracting it again.

Hope my requirement is clear and meaningful.

Thanks,
Prabhakar.

Thanks,
Prabhakar
