A naive question...
I'm trying to generate a large patch that includes new files, so I do
cvs -q diff -c -N -r PRE_AUDIT
The patch when applied to the vanilla source is okay for all the existing
files.
But for the new files it starts creating files called /tmp/cvsxxxxx instead of
the files in the directory ?
ie looking at the diff.
Index: drivers/block/audit.c
===================================================================
RCS file: audit.c
diff -N audit.c
*** /dev/null Tue Aug 29 14:22:17 2000
--- /tmp/cvsQt9R2X Wed Oct 18 17:09:29 2000

And when using patch
patching file `drivers/block/Makefile'
patching file `/tmp/cvsQt9R2X'
This behaviour doesn't seen useful to me, why would it create a file in /tmp,
when Index: tells it which file to create ?
For your imformation I'm using cvs 1.10 and patch 2.5
Any clues ?
richard.
