You could apply the patch directly to the code that is currently installed
- that is in /usr/shared/pyshared/caffeine.
You could also download the latest code from the repo, apply the patch to
it, and then either run "make install" to install it. Or just use the
patched version from that location itself by using its absolute path.
To use the patch itself you want to go into the folder that is 1 level
above the files such as core.py. This would be /usr/shared/pyshared/ for
the first option, or the top directory of the checked out code for option 2
You would then run the command patch < /path/to/file to apply the patch
itself. The patch file is a text file, so you can open it to see what the
changes are, and you can confirm that the changes have happened if you want
to check. You can look at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/appy-patch-file-using-patch-command/ for more
info about applying patches. If you have any other questions pls feel free
to ask.
I was hoping that this code would get integrated into the code base and a
new package built, but this doesnt seem to be happening. Let me see if I
can build a .deb with the patch applied to help others.

Hi Rohit,
You have a couple of options.
You could apply the patch directly to the code that is currently installed pyshared/ caffeine.
- that is in /usr/shared/
You could also download the latest code from the repo, apply the patch to
it, and then either run "make install" to install it. Or just use the
patched version from that location itself by using its absolute path.
To use the patch itself you want to go into the folder that is 1 level pyshared/ for www.cyberciti. biz/faq/ appy-patch- file-using- patch-command/ for more
above the files such as core.py. This would be /usr/shared/
the first option, or the top directory of the checked out code for option 2
You would then run the command patch < /path/to/file to apply the patch
itself. The patch file is a text file, so you can open it to see what the
changes are, and you can confirm that the changes have happened if you want
to check. You can look at
http://
info about applying patches. If you have any other questions pls feel free
to ask.
I was hoping that this code would get integrated into the code base and a
new package built, but this doesnt seem to be happening. Let me see if I
can build a .deb with the patch applied to help others.
