zlib uses patches. Looking for packages with build dependencies on patch systems such as dpatch or quilt will turn up plenty of other examples. The use of a patch system is a recommended practice but is in no way mandatory - many packages don't use one, often due to the triviality of the patches they apply or due to predating the introduction of patch systems. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
