The patch file package is for those wanting to update through the patch application, and should only be used by those who are comfortable with it.
-The patch file is one solution for those with changes in to the phpBB core files and do not want to re-add them back to all the changed files. To use this you will need command line access to a standard UNIX type patch application. If you do not have access to such an application, but still want to use this update approach, we strongly recommend the Advanced update package explained below. It is also the recommended update method.

A number of patch files are provided to allow you to update from previous stable releases. Select the correct patch, e.g. if your current version is 3.3.0, you need the phpBB-3.3.1-patch.zip/tar.bz2 file. Place the correct patch in the parent directory containing the phpBB core files (i.e. index.php, viewforum.php, etc.). With this done you should run the following command: patch -cl -d [PHPBB DIRECTORY] -p1 < [PATCH NAME] (where PHPBB DIRECTORY is the directory name your phpBB Installation resides in, for example phpBB, and where PATCH NAME is the relevant filename of the selected patch file). This should complete quickly, hopefully without any HUNK FAILED comments.
This package detects changed files and merges in changes if needed. Since this type of update has a potential to cause issues while upgrading, it should only be used by expert users.
