patches [back]
When the three following conditions happen together :
- have the time
- have the need
- have the skills
I patch free software I use in order to kill a bug or add a feature I miss.
Here they are ; I remove patches which have have been integrated to available versions
of software.
All patches here should be applied with "patch -p1".
Don't forget to check versions before applying patches, you could have to manually apply/modify
them if your software is not the same version as the one I used for the patch.
All patches (no ordering, no comments, even integrated ones)
Linux stuff that has been integrated
linux-2.4.19-ctrl_click.patch
This is a Macintosh-specific (or, to be more precise, a one-button-mouse-specific)
patch. It causes control-clicks to be handled by Linux kernel, and on-the-fly transformed to
right-clicks. Just like in MacOS.
This can be annoying with some applications using ctrl-clicks to do something, but when
this happens to me I patch the app to use mod2 instead of ctrl.
This patch is a little sensitive as you should release the click before the control key in
order to let it work fine. But that's really, really more intuitive (just like under MacOS !)
that having to hit F12 to perform a right-click as it works under linuxPPC.
