- Q: `patch' thinks there is no patch in the `diffs'?
-
- A: then its probably too old to know about the `unified' format the
- diffs are in. (they're shorter than `regular' context diffs) try
- `patch -v' to check, this is what i get:
- $Header: patch.c,v 2.0.2.0 90/05/01 22:17:50 davison Locked $
- Patch level: 12u7

- Q: when i enable big `g' packets for site <foo> it always drops the
- connection right after the initial handshake...
-
- A: not all uucp packages can handle big packets, some even just dump
- core when asked to use packets > 128 bytes. :-( try 128 byte packets,
- and if it still happens go back to 64. (thats if <foo> runs some sort
- of un*x operating system, on others the `magical limit' might be
- something else.)

- Q: when i try to debug a connection with -x flags things get worse,
- i.e. there are even more errors than without -x!?
-
- A: writing all the data into debug files takes time, especially on
- a filesystem as slow as GEMDOS. :-( i.e. what happens is probably
- timeouts on your end or the other... try a debuglevel that produces
- less output (maybe -xabnormal is enough?) or turn on debugging
- on the other end. or do the world a favour and write a decent
- fast filesystem for MiNT. ;-)
