Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Problem testing patch on Fedora

Hi guys

I've developed a patch on Windows that includes some new code files. I created the patch using Tortoise / Create Patch, copied across to a Fedora core version 6 box and applied it using patch -p0 < mypatch.patch.

The problem is that for the new files the original file contents appears three times! The patch works fine on Windows using Tortoise / Apply Patch.

Has anyone seen this before? Have I missed something in the docs suggesting that new files should be shipped separately and not as part of a patch file?

Cheers

Doug
