With o without source, there is no concept of patch RPM, in the sense that I suppose you mean (exist in other package manager - mostly proprietary) . Patch RPM was another concept in the past in the RPM community. Whether you use a single package or subpackage, make the change in the original spec, update the version, and updates the rpm. hth > > Thank you > Jim > > _______________________________________________ > Rpm-list mailing list > Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list > _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
