I never got this to work; e.g. $ LANG=C make rediff SUFFIX=arridx /bin/sh: line 0: cd: /var/tmp/sessiondir-ensc.1262717944.trKTtL/cvsextras/hunt-1.5/..: No such file or directory It seems to assume a %name-%version-$SUFFIX.patch naming scheme. Lot of my patches are from a previous %version so that it does not apply. >> | %apply -n23 -p1 > > Would you please provide more instructions about how to implement it and > how to use it? Place | %{!?apply:%global apply(p:n:b:) %patch%%{-n:%%{-n*}} %%{-p:-p %%{-p*}} %%{-b:-b %%{-b*}} \ | %nil} in every .spec file and replace | %patchX -pN by | %apply -nX -pN there. In your local ~/.rpmmacros, add -------- %apply(p:n:b:) \ if test -n "$RPM_NO_DEVEL"; then \ %patch%{-n:%{-n*}} %-p %-b \ else \ quilt import %-p %{!-p:-p 0} %{P:%{-n*}} \ quilt push -f; \ fi \ %nil -------- Do *not* indent the %patch line; %patchX seems to be implemented very tricky in rpm and does not work when it does not start on the beginning of a line.
