RE: [leafnode-list] Latest snapshot won't build

Thanks Matthias...

I've backed out of the patches, and when I try to apply with -Z, I get a lot of output like this:

[jcc@pc69 jcc]$ zcat upgrade-20031001a-to-20031009a.patch.gz | patch -p0 -E -Z
patching file leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20031009a/ChangeLog
Not setting time of file leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20031009a/ChangeLog (time mismatch)
patching file leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20031009a/Makefile.in

Not setting time of file leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20031009a/NEWS (time mismatch)
( etc. etc. etc)

Maybe my patch is too old as well? :)

This machine is so out of date it can't be automatically upgraded, and trying to upgrade bits of it is usually a nightmare because of rpm dependancies, so generally I just try and leave it as it is.

I'd be curious to know why the patch is not working above, but from what you say, I could just download the full source and build that, which is good.  We have a fast connection here - I just thought I'd try patching because I've not done it before, and that is the best way to learn (for me at least).
