https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1079499 --- Comment #2 from Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I prefer having the prepped tree as a git tree for the same reasons the wiki page mentions: "The resulting build directory can be used for bisecting problems introduced in patches, and developing new patches from the build directory is more natural than with gendiff." As to why I am using a sequence of 6 git commands and not simply "%autosetup -S git": I have nicely git formatted patch files, but autosetup applies them internally using "git apply", thus losing the commit messages. Using "git am" gives better results. Applying patches this way is an often used idiom. systemd or xorg-x11-server are examples of Fedora packages that apply patches this way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
