Problems with cygport 2.8-1?

Could reproduce this problem.

I don't think cygport 0.2.8-1 prep command works with any patch, because
it uses a now unset variable for the file name.

Here is a fix for apply_patch():
...
- if patch -N -s --dry-run -p${patchlevel} -i ${patchfile} &> /dev/null
+ if patch -N -s --dry-run -p${patchlevel} -i ${patchfile_path} &>
/dev/null
...
- patch -N -p${patchlevel} -i ${patchfile} || error "patch
${patchfile_name} failed"
+ patch -N -p${patchlevel} -i ${patchfile_path} || error "patch
${patchfile_name} failed"

Cygport maintainers: Please test cygport releases not only with cygport
itself ;-)
