This initial version of the article needs work, especially the second paragraph. While I understand it, it could be stated better. I probably won't be doing the work here, though. I am not a Unix-head. :-) — Frecklefoot 16:21, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I am :) And I think at least the -p1 option is something you usually do not want. You'd rather want to use -p0. -andy 217.2.48.207 22:03, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I do not believe you can get the package from the page mentioned. The download link stops me at "Forbidden". This link has a working version: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
I'll leave this for a few days if someone more experienced wants to comment, otherwise, I'll go change the link myself. 66.71.75.74 23:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

The comment reminds me to note that Univac had a simple batch editor (same issue), e.g, "slp". DEC used the same name for a similar program (DEC borrowed more names from Univac than from IBM, though "symbiont" never took hold). Tedickey ( talk) 00:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Schily's existing promotional edits make derogatory remarks in the change comments about other implementations, while failing to provide reliable sources, e.g., to substantiate "POSIX compliant" on work to which he has made some changes. The place to carry on a discussion is on the talk page, rather than use the change comments to make personal attacks on other editors TEDickey ( talk) 00:43, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
For instance, suitable sources would be found here — if they exist. TEDickey ( talk) 01:01, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
That's a lot of words without making any points. Are you going to provide a reliable source for any of that? TEDickey ( talk) 00:12, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
I see that there are links to git repositories, but they are for the GNU project, while the page title ("Patch (Unix)") mentions Unix. So shouldn't there be some precision to bring to the link, such as "Official specification: <link to OpenGroup site>", and change "Repository" to "GNU implementation repository: <Git repository of GNU patch>"? Remember tha GNU is not Unix, and thus GNU patch is not an official implementation reference. Sedrikov ( talk) 09:14, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
Another from-scratch implementation of patch originated in toybox, written in 2007 ( https://github.com/landley/toybox/commit/42ecbab08101) and ported from there to busybox in 2010 ( http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2010-August/073112.html). The two have been kept roughly in sync ever since. Earlier this year there was an infodump on the toybox mailing list about how patch works: http://lists.landley.net/pipermail/toybox-landley.net/2019-January/010049.html . Toybox patch is the version Android is using to build itself: http://lists.landley.net/pipermail/toybox-landley.net/2019-December/011322.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:E947:6500:6680:99FF:FE6F:CB54 ( talk) 19:14, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
The version of patch in schilytools started with an early version of the gnu fork, rather than being just Wall's original version. (And given the origin of the comment in this topic, the origin for the others is dubious). See discussion in the diffstat page TEDickey ( talk) 19:06, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
