Patching bazaar explorer

Question

In launching bazar explorer in macosx, a common error arises when i try to view the repository, it say "too many files", a solution has been posted by using a patch over at bazars website (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-explorer/+bug/926439)

.... My question is how do you exactly patch them? I typed "bzr patch " but errors occured, am i missing something here?

The patch applies to the source code of bzr-explorer. You would have to download the source, apply the patch to that and then install it from the patched source.

In detail:

Download bzr-explorer and the patch.
Extract bzr-explorer into a directory which you can access easily from Terminal.
Copy the downloaded patch file into the same directory.
Open Terminal and change to that directory.
Execute the following commands:

patch < workaround-926439.patch

python setup.py install
