Hi Dominick,
You can refer to
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/appy-patch-file-using-patch-command/ to learn
how to apply the patch. What you want to do is get the latest code from
their repository and then apply the patch from the top directory of the
code. After that i think linking the caffeine script from the code to the
caffeine in /usr/bin/ should be enough.. i was using it manually for the
longest time tho.. Not sure if make install might be enough as well.. You
can try both (link and make all)
