More patches for R7B-0
The numbers beginning with "OTP-" are internal tracking numbers that
we use that are not very useful to you. But keeping them makes it
more easy for us to identify the changes we have made patches for.
You use something like
% cd otp_src_R7B-0/
% zcat ../patches/patch-R7B-0-*.diff.gz | patch -p1
to patch your source. Let me know if there are any problems adding the
patches.
The description of the previous patches and the list below is found in
