It's fairly straight forward adding patches to srpms. You place the patch file
in your SOURCES directory and make minor mods to your spec file.
Here's a quick specfile created in emacs called my.spec
###### Start Spec file.
Summary:
Name: my
Version: 1
Release: 1
License:
Group:
URL:
Source0: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
#### Add Patch Sources here. The patches are placed in your SOURCES directory
Patch1: my.patch
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root
%description
%prep
%setup -q
# Run you patches here.
%patch1 -p1
%build
%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%doc
%changelog
* Thu Feb 24 2005 Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -
- Initial build.
##### End Specfile
You can test whether you patch applies cleanly without doing the full build
with "rpmbuild -bp my.spec".
