How to apply patches
Click on the heading above to view the patch lists, then continue below.

'''Make sure to install the "git-core" package first, if using the "git" upgrade method. PKP changed from CVS to Git for version control.'''

Patches against OJS should be applied with the -p1 option from within the OJS /var/www installation directory.

Patches against the PKP library should be applied with the -p1 option from within the /var/www/lib/pkp subdirectory.

Test with following command. patch -p1 --verbose --dry-run < /path/to/XXXX.patch Then apply the patch if there are no errors. patch -p1 --verbose < /path/to/XXXX.patch
