I downloaded a src rpm, built it using rpmbuild and the spec file and ran it. So far, so good. Now I want to modify the source to add some debugging statements. The problem is that the src rpm contains a number of patches and one of the patches is to the file I want to modify. Now when I rpmbuild, the patching fails because the source file it is trying to patch doesn't look the same.
What is the Fedora way of dealing with this situation?
Let me know if this needs to be moved to the devel list.
Thanks, Steve.
One way is to create your own patch that is used after the original patch. Add it to the end of the patch list.
Yukk!! That will get really tiresome really quickly. At this point I don't really know what I'm looking for so I may end up having to add debug statements to several files.
Is there a way to apply all the patches to the source code and them remove them from the spec file?
