'Patch' == 'Patch0' is true. It's stylistic. I think %patch0 is cleaner than %patch, and won't confuse new packagers who can assume that they can just do: Patch: foo Patch: bar %patch -p1 And to be honest, the NewPackageProcess apparently got created while I was asleep, from my "ExtrasPackageChecklist", which I wrote not as a standard, but as a cheat sheet for me. Don't assume it's a standards document worth following (yet). ~spot --- Tom "spot" Callaway: Red Hat Sales Engineer || GPG Fingerprint: 93054260 Fedora Extras Steering Committee Member (RPM Standards and Practices) Aurora Linux Project Leader: http://auroralinux.org Lemurs, llamas, and sparcs, oh my!
