如何申请拉链补丁？

Question

I am wondering, what is the problem here?

This is the linux patch for 2.6.38. I have renamed it. This patch is gz.Thus, I am using zcat. Here is what I see?

[joshis1@shreyas linux-2.6-lttng]$ zcat patch-2.6.38.2-lttng-0.248.tar.gz  

| patch -p1

can't find file to patch at input line 15
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

duskwuff is correct – you've encountered a gzipped tarball of patches. You should extract them all to a temporary folder; you can use your shell to apply each of them – eg,

for p in /path/to/extracted/patches/*; do patch -p1 $p; done
