Hi everyone,
RPM has deprecated the %patchN syntax in favor of %patch -PN where N is
the patch number for a year now. See the RPM documentation for more
information [1]. In current RPM versions, this syntax only emits a
deprecation warning, but support for this syntax has been removed
completely in the upcoming RPM 4.20 release. As it will be added in
Fedora soon [2] it is time to switch over to the new syntax now.
There are around 1800 packages that still use the old syntax. Later
this week/next week, we will run this script [3] over the affected
packages
[4][5] to update them to the modern patch syntax. For example, the
script will change:
%patch0 -p1 → %patch -P0 -p1
%patch0005 -p2 → %patch -P0005 -p2
Is this supported by rpm in RHEL8/9 (EPEL8/9 builds)?
Yes. It's been supported for a very long time.
%patch -P is already documented in the 1997 First Edition of Maximum RPM.
Here is the link in the 2000 online edition:

Ok. I got it :-)
