I recently gathered every available patch I could find on agate, and discovered some conflicts. Who do I report these to? In particular, there are conflicts between patches 77 and 61 (77 duplicates part of 61), 602 and 603 conflict with each other and with 78 and 83, and 81 duplicates part of 61. And there's a minor change to a comment in part 1 of patch 78 that conflicts with what the existing contents of pccons.c is supposed to be that causes a piece of the patch to fail. I was surprised to discover that the patches script ignores any failures by the patch program -- you have to discover the .rej files yourself, and figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. Very tedious! Phil
