I have used a library like ZendFramework in my project which I have put in Subversion. Now I want to update the version that I have put in Subversion. What's the best way to do this? Copying, taking a svn diff and patching the working copy or just copying the new files over the old files? I have tried svn diff with svn diff but this d...
Google uses bsdiff and Courgette for patching binary files like the Chrome distribution. Do any similar tools exist for patching jar files? I am updating jar files remotely over a bandwidth-limited connection and would like to minimize the amount of data sent. I do have some control over the client machine to some extent (i.e. I can run...
I am trying to patch dmenu with the files provided here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27334 I do not know how to do it, I've read that I should do patch file-to-patch the-patch, but in the patch provided there is more than one file involved.

Suppose, I have an opensource project that depends on some library, that must be patched in order to fix some issues. How do I do that? My ideas are: Have that library sources set up as a module, keep them in my vcs. Pros: simple. Cons: some third party sources in my repo, might slow down build process, hard to find a patched place (th...
I want to use Mercurial to capture changes made to the vanilla installation of a piece of software we use. Everytime we upgrade the software, we need to manually edit the various configuration files and add 3rd party libraries that we use in the current version of the software. Creating patches for the configuration files changes are fin...

Working on a bit of a sticky problem and was hoping for some help from the community. Basically, our dev team is split up into two teams, lets say "Red" and "Blue" 3 repos: 1: Master 2: Red >> Clone of master 3: Blue >> Clone of master Each developer is cloning red or blue on their local machine where they are working. Both teams...
Hi, I made a program using visual c# which connects to a local .mdf sql database. I've published it using the Publish Wizard, used the files on another computer to install it and it worked fine. However, some bugs were discovered. I've corrected the problems, published it again and tried to patch the program on the 2nd computer. Aft...

When I'm ready to push patches or whole new versions I'm currently copying the files individually, is there a program that can help me do this task? Keep in mind that some files (the config one and the htacess) an...
I am doing a Merge in TortoiseSvn, which modifies some files, deletes some, and adds some. Next I am doing a Create Patch to create a patch file with these changes. The problem is that the resulting patch file includes only the modifications and deletions, not the adds. I have discovered a workaround. If I revert the adds and then do...

Are we reduced to ClickOnce to manage our application state for our users? We use our own installer and Visual Patch currently. When our users update using our Visual Patch download (we can reproduce this) we get errors from the updated versions which never show up in our dev enviroment. Since our developer state is not 'updated' wi...
How can I change the default UI language when installing a patch/update? The problem is that the patch takes the initial language in which the setup to be patched was installed and not the current system language (defined in Regional Settings/Advanced Options). I wonder if there is a property or a switch that I can pass to a msp file to...
So I've been bashing away at my favorite open source project for quite some time, and It's time for submitting issues with patches back. I have to regroup my commits more or less fully, and hopefully extract some pieces of code that can function as distinct patches to avoid code bombing. Currently I usually do something like this: reba...
In x86, I get the function address using GetProcAddress() and write a simple XOR EAX,EAX; RET 4; in it. Simple and effective. How do I do the same in x64? bool DisableSetUnhandledExceptionFilter() { const BYTE PatchBytes[5] = { 0x33, 0xC0, 0xC2, 0x04, 0x00 }; // XOR EAX,EAX; RET 4; // Obtain the address of SetUnhandledExceptionFilt...
Hi, I know if some files are checked out (modified) then I could right click on containing folder, then select "create patch". After then I will see list of all checked out files. So I could include them in the patch. But when no file is checked out, aka everything is committed, create patch window is empty. So the question is how can I...
The idea is to have a PHP script parse a given .patch file and will apply the given patch accordingly. Assume that the script has no access to command line so the script will have to do the parsing itself. Is there a library somewhere? ...
What is the difference a changeset and a patch? I was using hg today and I noticed the import command mentions that it is used to "import an ordered set of patches." What is a patch? ...
