How to Apply a Patch

If you have a patch that you wish to be apply to your local svn copy of the Fusion repository, all you need to do is put the patch file the root of your fusion directory and call:

 patch -p0 < myPatch.patch

There's a chance that the patch you're trying to apply starts from an absolute path reference coder's development machine. The patch command accommodates this situation by trimming leading patch segments from the file references using the -p0 to -p6 options where the number indicates how many path segments to trim. See more details at ​http://linux.die.net/man/1/patch

Patches can be downloaded from trac by clicking the "Original Format" link at the bottom of any trac patch attachment.
