<br>
When I moved to Fedora after years of doing Debian packages I noticed that there is no such thing as patch management when it comes to Fedora packages. Everyone is using %patch macro with files of random patchlevel (some even use reverse patches).<br>
<br>
%autosetup was created to handle that but probably less than 5% of packages use it. Why?<br>
<br>
Is it because no one told that it exists? Or maybe because implementation has some issues which no one wants to fix? Or other (I exclude laziness of package maintainers)?<br>
