How to apply a python patch on installed library

Question

So if I create a new MVC project with basic log in template, there should be somewhere a database which contains all the user login information. There's even the default connection string which points to it.

<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-MyProjectName-20140521042155.mdf;Initial Catalog=aspnet-MyProjectName-20140521042155;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

How ever, when exploring the project folder I cannot find it. I also tried to turn on "show all files" option in the solution explorer.

Solution

Use the 'patch' tool to apply your patch. The description provided to you above is likely useful; first move to the django source directory or where ever you've uncompressed your egg, and then run patch (if you don't have patch installed simply do an apt-get install patch). I'd use -p1 as an arg, not sure why -p2 was specified, but my command might look like this;

patch -p1 --dry-run < name.patch

You can find out more with 'man patch'.

Unless you've used the Ubuntu Django (deb) packages and want to re-package it, I don't see how this is ontopic here. Software development and related things like applying patches should be asked on StackOverflow. But pssst... cd path/to/django; patch -p2 --dry-run < path/to/patch will help you out, right?

Developing for (or in) Ubuntu is a topic of AskUbuntu. Check the FAQ (askubuntu.com/faq)

Development under Ubuntu and using Ubuntu for developing is more than on-topic for this site. This question stays. @gertvdijk feel free to add an answer to this post, there is nothing wrong with it or that deserves migration any where.
