Description Robert Wolf 2005-12-04 11:22:50 UTC

Hi.

A patch ext2resize-1.1.17-linux26.patch of ext2resize package for version 1.1.17
contains absolute path for patched file ext2.h =
/var/tmp/portage/ext2resize-1.1.17-r2/work/ext2resize-1.1.17/src/. There is 

--- /var/tmp/portage/ext2resize-1.1.17-r2/work/ext2resize-1.1.17/src/ext2.h    
2001-03-15 20:35:09.000000000 +0000

on the first line of the patch, but should be

--- ext2resize-1.1.17/src/ext2.h     2001-03-15 20:35:09.000000000 +0000

If users (like me) have defined other PORTAGE_TMPDIR variable in /etc/make.conf,
this patch fails to apply with epatch command.

Solution: Use relative paths to "work" or SRC directory in patch files everytime.
