Hi everyone, RPM has deprecated the `%patchN` syntax in favor of `%patch -PN` where `N` is the patch number. See the RPM documentation for more information [1]. In current RPM versions, this syntax only emits a deprecation warning, but support for this syntax has been removed completely on the rpm master branch [2]. Around 100 packages maintained by the go-sig still use this syntax.
Later this week/early next week, I will run this script [3] over the affected go-sig packages [4] to update them to the modern patch syntax. For example, the script will change: %patch0 -p1 -> %patch -P0 -p1 %patch0005 -p2 -> %patch -P0005 -p2 If anyone has any objections or would like to exclude a package, please let me know. ---Maxwell [1] https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/spec.html#patch-1 [2] https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/commit/afd352481bacea521ce5ba01e989866478278532 [3] https://git.sr.ht/~gotmax23/fedora-scripts/tree/main/item/new_patch_syntax.sh [4] https://git.sr.ht/~gotmax23/fedora-scripts/tree/main/item/go-sig/new_patch_syntax/packages -- Maxwell G (@gotmax23) Pronouns: He/They -- _______________________________________________ golang mailing list -- golang@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to golang-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/golang@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
