Hot fixes to C08
Format: The procedure for creating a hot fix is described on the HotFixToDo page and should be strictly followed at all times. Every hot fix should include a UNIX-style patch file that needs to be attached to this page. If the bug affects any predictions this should be noted. The date that the hot fix was posted should be listed, along with an acknowledgment to the person who identified the problem.
To apply the hot fix, you can either use a UNIX-style patch file, or a zip archive as outlined below. Generally the zip archive will have a larger size since it contains a full copy of every file that was changed.
Using a patch file to install a hot fix
To download a patch to your computer, first click on the "patch<n>" link, and then right-click on the "Unified Diff" link at the bottom of the page and select "Save link as".
To install the patch you need the UNIX patch program. First go to the root of the Cloudy directory tree, then type the command:
patch -p3 < /path/to/patch-file
where /path/to/patch-file should be the location of the file you just downloaded. You can remove the patch file when you are finished.
Using a zip archive to install a hot fix
To download a zip archive to your computer, first click on the "patch<n>" link, and then right-click on the "Zip Archive" link at the bottom of the page and select "Save link as".
To install the corrected files you need the unzip utility. Use this to explode the zip archive in a temporary location. This will create a directory tree containing only the modified files. Move these to replace the obsolete files in your Cloudy distribution. You can remove the zip file when you are finished.
