Ryota, All,

Thanks for the respin! :-)

Following Arnouts comments, some of my previous ones no longer applied,
so I did a few rework, see below...

Since we now have an explicit check like that one, dropping the common
one, as you did initially, was indeed a good idea; I've done that Sorry
for misleading you on that part.

It also needs redirection 2>/dev/null to ignore errors (e.g. missing
patch, or patch that does not know of -v).

>  # apply-patches.sh needs patch with --no-backup-if-mismatch support (GNU, busybox w/DESKTOP)

This comment is now incorrect, because we no longer accept any patch
that is not explicitly GNU patch, so busybox w/desktop is no longer
accepted.

> -if ! patch --no-backup-if-mismatch </dev/null 2>/dev/null; then
> +if [ -z "${PATCH_VERSION}" ] ; then
> +	echo
>  	echo "Your patch program does not support the --no-backup-if-mismatch option. Install GNU patch"

The error message is now explicitlely about not being GNU patch, so I've
shorten it to: "You must install GNU patch"

>  	exit 1
>  fi
> +PATCH_VERSION_MAJOR="$(echo "${PATCH_VERSION}" | cut -d . -f 1)"
> +PATCH_VERSION_MINOR="$(echo "${PATCH_VERSION}" | cut -d . -f 2)"
> +if [ "${PATCH_VERSION_MAJOR}" -lt 2 ] || \

Aha, I see you used the long variable names I used in my review, and now
the line is too long. ;-) I've reverted to the original names you were
using, because they are explicit enough, and they also match other parts
of the script, and makes the line short enough again. :-)

> +	echo
> +	echo "You have GNU patch '$PATCH_VERSION' installed.  GNU patch >=2.7 is required"

You forgot to use curly braces for the expansion here.

Applied to next, with the few changes above, thanks! :-)
