I'm trying to develop a patch application for a client. This client is used to the Sun/Solaris way of working, and expects that a patch will contain only the targets-to-be-repaired for a package (i.e. if one file needs updating, they want to release a patch-package containing a single file, even if the original package, even though the original package contained 150 files.
Is this possible at all ? Preliminary experiments seem to indicate I'd get an ownership conflict.
Also, does anybody have any suggestions for a good patch strategy ? (Application consists of a number of packages, some of which contain a large number of files. How do I minimize the amount of data I need to push to a remote machine, over a very expensive link ?)
Thanks,
Tim T.
