Good question!
Yes, I suppose this would be a simple fix, but... In a few places in
the RPM docs, they say that it is not good practice to modify files
that were installed from another package. The files I want to modify
are not files that "belong" to me.
Specifically, I am modifying the *.repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d. I
add my own files, but I want to disable the default fedora files that
were installed by yum.
When I uninstall my package, I would simple reverse the patch to
restore the default yum config files to their original states.
In any case, I can't add any new files from %files, because it gives
me an error saying that these files belong to another package.
I suppose I could install the "updated" files under a new name in a
known location, them apply the patch. Would that be the standard way
of doing what I'm trying to do?
Thanks again!!

I want to apply a post-installation patch.
Are you suggesting that I put my patch file with the %files in a
known location and use it from there?
I don't really want to install the patch file as part of the
installation... All I want to do is something like:
%post
patch -p0 < my_patch_file
If you can make the patch at build time why don't you patch
it in %install and package already patched files?
