I have a patch with absolute paths that I wish to use. i.e. the first few lines are as follows.
What’s the difference between patch -p0
and patch -p1
?
Let’s say I have a 4 GB file abc
on my local computer. I have uploaded it to a distant server via SFTP, it took a few hours.
I don’t subscribe to the linux-kernel mailing list, but I want to get a set of patches that were posted a few weeks ago and apply them to my kernel for testing. I’m very familiar with patching, building, etc. My question is, what’s the best way to get a copy of this patch set? It’s not applied to any Git repo that I’m aware of, it’s just been posted to the mailing list for discussion.
