Hi Juergen,

Thank you for prompt response.

I want to apply the patch to the existing package without extracting it from archive file.

So that I can avoid building package from start.

For example take kernel, if I change something and want to add this to final build, it has to be compiled from start if it needs extract to apply the patch.

I have referred section 4.2.5, but unfortunately I did not get what I am looking for.

Please help me in this regard.

Thanks & Regards.

Prabhakar.

Do you mean you want to add your patch in a persistent manner or just add it
and test something?

You could refer the PTXdist manual[1], section 4.2.5 for example.

Regards,
Juergen
