Click each link, then scroll to the bottom of the page and choose
"Unified Diff". I then recommend running dos2unix on all patches as for
some strange reason trac produces DOS format text files. Then just
apply the patches in order with patch -p2.

I'll let you appreciate which of these patches you actually want. I'm
the one making the selection but it's often arbitrary and every case is
different.

It's no so common, I think. The list of patches is mainly there for
packagers. End-users are supposed to simply install packages from their
distribution. As a matter of fact, I think you're the first one asking
for help with this since I started maintaining this list 4 years ago.
