Hi all,

In my build environment, I have a directory containing a bunch of patches.
I would like ant to apply these patches to pristine sources.  I have tried
something similar to:

    <patch dir="pristine">
      <fileset dir="patches">
	<include name="**"/>
        <type type="file"/>
      </fileset>
    </patch>

but I get the error:

The <patch> type doesn't support the nested "fileset" element.

Nuts.  Thinking that the patch command on Unix is a filter, I figured that
I could <concat> all of the patches in a <filterchain> and send the output
to <patch>.  Unfortunately, <patch> does not seem to be a <filterreader>.

I *could* manually specify the patches or I could just <concat> to a
<tempfile>, but both of those solutions are not ideal.  Does anyone know a
way of making <patch> work with a group of patches?

Thanks.

P.S. - Patches should be applied in alphabetical order based on their
filename.  So if I have:

patches/a_nice_patch.diff
patches/zzz_last_one.diff

then a_nice_patch.diff is applied before zzz_last_one.diff.

There's no standard way to enforce alphabetical order of files in Ant.
Often the file system will return them in alphabetical order, but there's
no guarantee of that... I had a hack that did that at one point, called
a fileset decorator ;-)

In any case, you may want to also look into <apply>, since I would think
<patch> in fact forks to a system specific patch program.

But for guaranteed order, you may need to write a true (shell?) script
that you exec from Ant.

Hello Kenneth,

look at the for and for-each constructs of ant-contrib.

Cheers,
