Error description

  • # patch -b -up1 -i ../patch_u.diff
Processing...  Looks like a unified context diff...
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -u before/samp.h after/samp.h
|--- before/samp.h   2013-08-12 04:25:05.000000000 -0500
|+++ after/samp.h   2013-08-08 21:26:13.000000000 -0500
--------------------------
Patching file samp.h using Plan A...
Hunk #1 succeeded at 35.
Processing...  Ignoring the trailing text.    <== wrong
done

Local fix

  • Use patch -c as a workaround.

Problem summary

  • When using a unified context diff file as an input to the patch
command to patch differences in a file, and there are more
than one hunks present in the diff file. Then the patch command
might not process all the hunks.

Problem conclusion

  • Modify loop termination condition to ensure context diff
hunk read processing contained.

Temporary fix
