difference between patches and packages? and how to upgrade patches
Answer Posted / sangeetha
Patches are software modules which are used to fix some
existing bugs in the source code. Mostly used in kernel,
bootloader and other sources. Patches contain the
difference between the original source file and the
modified source file. The command used to apply a patch is
"patch -p1" in LINUX/UNIX. On entering this command you
will be prompted to enter the path for the file name in
which the patch is to be applied. So enter the absolute
path for the file name.
