#2290: Solaris patch command is not compatible with GNU patch
----------------------+-----------------------

----------------------+-----------------------
 On Solaris, the default patch command is not compatible with the GNU Patch
 for which Buildbot was designed.

 On Solaris users can install the gpatch package which is the GNU patch
 command.

 For system where only buildbot is running users can replace the /bin/patch
 with gpatch and buildbot works.

 Another option is to change Buildbot to use gpatch on Solaris.

 I just wanted to know if you think that this is a bug, and if things can
 be improved, what changed would like you like to see in buildbot.

 Thanks!
