[SOLVED] How to apply patch file?

[neglas]

Hi

I have found this patch, that I want to try adding to pfSense, to make it accept wildcard DNS entries on the internal DNS server.

I just do not know how to use the patch - can anyone help me?

I have gotten pfSense to accept SSH and I have succesfully transfered the patch file to pfSense, but I do not know what I need to do now.

Even though that patch is rather old, it does seem to still apply:

Start shell ( 8 )

fetch http://cvstrac.pfsense.com/attach_get/132/wildcards.patch

patch -p1 -C -d / < wildcards.patch

If that says it all applies cleanly, then do:

patch -p1 -d / < wildcards.patch

The -C will do a test run without actually altering any files.

Thanks, that worked like charm on 1.2.2-RELEASE.

Will be running a litte more testing, but I am pretty sure I will be running pfSense in production very soon.

Thank you very much for your quick help!

Kind regards,
Niklas
