it isn't uncommon for people to want to force the patch (-p#) or fuzz (-f#) level when applying specific patches. but it is unusual that they want to kill off the extra options: -g0 -E --no-backup-if-mismatch. so i'd like to split these off and improve the epatch API.
# Extra options to pass to `patch` (such as -p1). EPATCH_OPTS="" # Common options to pass to `patch` (you probably shouldn't need # to change these at all). EPATCH_COMMON_OPTS="-g0 -E --no-backup-if-mismatch" and then i'll try to extend `epatch` so the first set of arguments can implicitly set EPATCH_OPTS for that one patch: epatch -p1 "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-foo.patch this is much nicer than the current: EPATCH_OPTS="-p1" epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-foo.patch i can't see this causing any issues, but considering everyone uses `epatch`, best to ask first. -mike
