Hi ,

I would like to know how to apply a patch to a already extracted package.
I do not want to remove the source directory of package and re extract it.

Could you please help me if there is an easy method.

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.

Juergen

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.

Maybe this is what you are looking for:

1. Change some source files of the Kernel (in platform-x/build-target/linux-x.x.x/...)
2. ptxdist drop kernel.compile
3. ptxdist go
4. ptxdist images

Good luck,
 ~Matthias

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

No. Its not clear and not yet meaningful. What exactly is the problem you need 
to solve?
What is the problem by adding a patch to the list of patches and instructing 
PTXdist to extract the archive again and apply the new list of patches? That 
is where PTXdist is made for: it keeps everything you made and need to make 
your target work for the future.

Regards,
Juergen
