Sorry, but the patch as is is wrong fore sure. I've seen "lp" instead =20
of "lpr", and even at least one wrong path. For other paths I would =20
have to check to say something definitive. A little bit more work is =20
needed to get an update of this into FreeBSD. How did you proceeded to =20
have a look at the update?
Here's how I would do it:
1) diff the version we have with the same version of the vendor
+ in case of a difference the functionaility needs to be
forward ported
2) diff the vendor src of the version of what we have with the
next version after it
3) add the differences to our version taking 1) into account
and taking care if some path which may be in the new version
is OK for us
3.5) if in doubt, ask here, together with a description of what is
changed / improved / new
4) repeat from 2) until the most recent version is reached
Bye,
Alexander.
