Probably of some interest: I had problems with new patch 2.2. First, it
rejects plain -p option (without operand); second, if given patch
_without_ -p option at all, it cannot find any file with pathname.
patch -p0 seems to work. I don't remember, if -p0 was legal option in
earlier versions of patch, but if yes, please, add it to your shell
script.
As a side note, our shell doesn't like
echo $errors hunk(s) failed.
line. It complaints "syntax error: `(' unexpected". It is claimed to be
POSIX-compliant.

It's a "feature" of the new patch; you must add the 0 operand
explicitly now.

Patch without `-p' simply ignores the directory name; that aspect is
unchanged.
Why the patch developers chose to change patch behaviour now is
totally beyond me. The change isn't significant enough to be called a
major breakage, but it certainly is annoying. And there was *no need*
for it.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.

That's bad. I've been using using patch -p for ages.

Yes, you should not use it without -p. It can patch the wrong Makefile.in
and other bad things can happen.

Yes, -p0 was always legal, but I was always lazy to write this redundant
zero. And I'm sure that I'll keep forgetting this well after I upgrade my
patch program.

Which is OK, since no other POSIX/Bourne shell can parse that line. I did
not notice this since when I tested this, the patch did not fail and this
line was never executed.
