Dave,

   Downloaded the git tree for 2.21.9 (had to rename it from his numbering
system) and all the files from the 14.2 source directory.

   Untarred source, changed directory name to alpine-2.21.9/, tarred and xz'd
it. Changed version number in alpine.SlackBuild. This error appeared:

alpine-2.21.9/pico/estruct.h
chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink './web/cgi/detach'
chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink './web/cgi/alpine/2.0/lib/yui'
chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink './web/detach'
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

   Please suggest how I should proceed.
