Installation procedure

Log in as root.
Download the patch-632-0705-svnclient.tar archive to your host environment.
Determine the base directory of your QNX Momentics installation by opening a command shell and using the qconfig command. For example:
```
$ qconfig
QNX Installations

Installation Name: QNX Momentics 6.3.0
Version: 6.3.0
Base Directory: /usr/qnx630/
QNX_HOST: /usr/qnx630/host/qnx6/x86/
QNX_TARGET: /usr/qnx630/target/qnx6/
  
```
The base directory in this example is /usr/qnx630/, but it could be different on your machine, depending on where you installed QNX Momentics.
Extract the archive you downloaded into the base directory by opening a command shell and using the following commands (replacing base_dir with the path found in step 2, and archive_path with the full path to the downloaded archive):
cd base_dir
tar -x -v -f archive_path/patch-632-0705-svnclient.tar

Structure of a patch

The patch is installed in the base_dir/patches/632-0705/ directory. This directory includes:

version: Includes the patch number and the build information.
manifest: Contains the checksums of the files shipped in the patch (as generated by the cksum utility).
shiplist: A list of the files included in the patch.
host: A directory of fixes related to components that would be built into host-specific development systems.

Applying the patch

Next, you must replace the files on your development host with the patched files.

Since this is a destructive procedure, we recommend that you create a backup of the affected files.

Creating a backup

To create a backup:

Go to the base directory:
cd base_dir
Make a backup of the files that will be overwritten:
pax -w < patches/632-0705/shiplist > patches/632-0705-backup.tar
You can use whatever name you like for the backup archive.

Copying the files

To apply the patch:

Go to the patch directory:
cd base_dir/patches/632-0705
Install the host updates:
cp -Rp host base_dir/.
