If you have to remember which %SOURCEN macro corresponds to which file, then just scroll up in your favorite editor to the part that lists each Source/Patch file. If these names aren't descriptive enough, then that's an issue you need to resolve by renaming to something more appropriate (for example, "fix-BZ123456-config-error.patch" is a lot nicer than "fix-stupid-bug.patch"). And if you need to renumber them, just use the search/replace capabilities of your preferred editor...or even a simple 'sed -i' invocation... -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) / FSF Associate Member #5015 GnuPG Public Key ID: 0xFFC19479 / Fingerprint: DD68 A414 56BD 6368 D957 9666 4268 CB7A FFC1 9479 Blog: http://thecodergeek.com/blog/ About: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PeterGordon
