Errors when patching OJS 2.4.6

Software Support

I have extracted the archive for OJS 2.4.6 and am now trying to apply the patch file. I get several errors, as follows. (I have assumed the errors aren’t critical, and have applied the patch, skipping the files that can’t be found.)

For the OJS patch, I get:

Hi @osborne,

The .tar.gz distribution of OJS doesn’t contain all the files that are in the git repository, which is where the patch you’re using comes from. Those files are related to testing. You can safely skip them when applying the patch.
