Re: incremental tar backups
Yup, missed it.
I couldn't get the patch to install, failed on "5 of 8 hunks." Downloaded the
newest 1.13.25-5 and it seems to have incorporated that patch. I have not much
experience applying diff patches, am used to either RPM patches or Solaris
patches using patchadd or installpatch. What I tried was:
I cut 'n pasted his two patches (I guess there are two, he calls them regular
diff and patch diff), INCREMEN.C.DIFF and INCREMEN.C.PATCH into two files,
patchfile1 and patchfile2. Then used:
sadsack(root)# patch < patchfile1
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

I note that his patches were based on 1.13.25-2 source... I dunno' which
version I had as `tar --version` yielded only 1.13.25.
thanks for your help.
