So you need the original files. For example, if you download a patch called fix-authentication.diff, that fixes a bug in ejabberd 2.0.0, you need the source code of ejabberd 2.0.0. And then:</p> <pre>$ cd ejabberd-2.0.0 $ patch -p0</pre> Wed, 12 Mar 2008 00:20:26 +0000 mfoss comment 51977 at https://www.ejabberd.im
