Under http://drupal.org/node/23409, there are two nearly identical book
pages on applying patches in Windows using Cygwin:


http://drupal.org/node/23164
http://drupal.org/node/32875


Can I redo that entire section on applying patches in Windows in the
following manner and resubmit them?


1.) Top level page: Applying patches in Windows
2.) Child page 1: Gnuwin32 diff and patch >>
http://drupal.org/node/32635
3.) Child page 2: Patching with cygwin >>combining nodes 23164 and
32875; will cover installing cygwin, patching a single file, patching
multiple files.


An aside: Shouldn't *applying patches* be in the User or admin guide?
Or in them also?

http://drupal.org/node/60179 would be one more child page.

already fixed


Specific patch instructions for window programs should go as child
pages under http://drupal.org/node/60179


http://drupal.org/node/23164 is in moderation, please compare it to
http://drupal.org/node/32875 and comment on what should be merged into
32875


The gnuwin pages have been removed in favor of unxutils

-1 patching is not an admin task.

Noted, as also your comment about retaining only visual diff progs.
that can save patches. Will do.

"-1 patching is not an admin task.

"
I don't know. You have all these people looking to try out new features
by applying patches and many of them seem to be administering drupal
sites. Definitely not in the user guide. 


I suppose admins who want to apply patches can find the handbook pages
by searching drupal.org

What do you mean with Top level page?


The Apply patches in Windows goes under:
(two levels) » Patches [1] » HOWTO: Apply patches [2]


Specific instructions for several windows 'patch' programs go under:
Patches [3] » HOWTO: Apply patches [4] » Apply patches on Windows
[5].


To edit the Cygwin doc, just edit Patches [6] » HOWTO: Apply patches
[7] » Apply patches on Windows [8] » Cygwin [9]


Creating patches on Windows goes under:
(two levels) » Patches [10] » HOWTO: Create patches [11] » Create
patches on Windows [12].


Gnuwin32 has been removed in favor of unxutils (native port of
gnuutils) as gnuwin is/was wrought with problems.

"What do you mean with Top level page?

"
I meant the Apply patches on Windows page.


Noted the other points. Hope I can do the edits within the next 24 hrs?
I am a bit tied up with things today and actually bumped into the patch
page when I was trying to work on my site.
