When building source RPMs:
How are the patch files installed? By hand? Or automatically by the make
build?
If manually what command is used and in what directory? Example?
If you peak at a particular package, let's use the git package as an
example. I just added a patch there recently and built it.
You can see the changes I made to the spec file to include a new patch
here:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=git.git;a=commitdiff;h=69974bd1
Basically, I added a Patch4: line, with the filename of the patch, and
used the %patch4 macro to apply it in the rpmbuild %prep section. The
patch file is placed in the rpm %_sourcedir (typically this is
~/rpmbuild/SOURCES, but you can change this).
You can see the build log and the commands this ends up executing via
koji:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/git/1.7.6/5.fc16/data/logs/i68...
The relevant lines are:
Patch #4 (0001-propagate-quiet-to-send-pack-receive-pack.patch):
+ echo 'Patch #4 (0001-propagate-quiet-to-send-pack-receive-pack.patch):'
+ /bin/cat /builddir/build/SOURCES/0001-propagate-quiet-to-send-pack-receive-pack.patch
+ /usr/bin/patch -s -p1 --fuzz=0
Does this help?
