Remove our hacked GNU patch.

2013-09-03T20:03:10Z

The old (2.1) GNU patch has outlived its days. The major local changes have been moved into the less restrictedly licensed patch(1) we adopted in usr.bin/ . A much newer version of GNU patch is available in the ports tree (devel/patch). Disconnect from the build and remove.

Drop build option switch for the older GNU patch.

As promised, drop the option to make the older GNU patch the default. GNU patch is still being built but something drastic may happen to it to it before Release.

Make the BSD-licensed patch the default.

The BSD-licensed patch(1) command has matured and it's behaviour can be considered equivalent to the older version of GNU patch in the tree. The switch has been extensively tested [1] and only two ports presented regressions, which have since been fixed. For convenience a new WITH_GNU_PATCH option is available, but it will likely be removed in the near future. PR: 176313 Approved by: portmgr

Properly handle input lines containing NUL characters such that pgets()

accurately fills the read buffer. Callers of pgets() still mis-process the buffer contents if the read line contains NUL characters, but this at least makes pgets() accurate.

Make it so that 'patch < FUBAR' and 'patch -i FUBAR' operate the same.

The former makes a copy of stdin, but was not accurately putting the content of stdin into a temp file. This lead to the undercounting the number of lines in hunks containing NUL characters when reading from stdin. Thus resulting in "unexpected end of file in patch" errors.

Add support for diffs generated by Perforce.

It basically picks the filenames from the "====" line and strips off the # revision number.
