No big deal for me, nevertheless a quick question: Until a year or two ago that didn't happen: The spec file had a few tricks to apply some of the patches (for example those that fix know build/compiler problems) all the time. That was lost when the spec file switched to using "git am %{patches}" to apply patches.
Was that intentional? Laura, Justin: Would you be open to reintroduce and use a similar method that would apply certain patches all the time? If yes I'd might look into this sooner or later, as it would make my life easier.
CU, knurd
No, it was not intentional that I am aware of. just something that no one seemed to notice until now because build issues are fairly rare these days. I would be open to reintroducing something to apply patches here.
We do apply some of the patches like kbuild-AFTER_LINK.patch always. I just didn't think about that when I applied the gcc patch. FWIW, a real fix should be in Linus' master branch now so it should compile cleanly. Sorry about the trouble.
Thanks, Laura
