You can test whether you patch applies cleanly without doing the full build with "rpmbuild -bp my.spec".Hi :
Problem: I have 2 patch files for a package. SuSE (and other) have an rpm to install the unpatched package. Is there an 'easy' way to blend my 2 patches in the rpm?
This is not for production or so just convenience and an excercise for ME :-)
I an currently reading http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ch-rpm-rw-build.html but not sure if the answer is in there.
Thanks Mark
It seems to work.
If the patch applied it should work. But since a lot of RPMS already have many patches, you should still test the package after building. Sometimes patches apply but still conflict with other patches. Now if their wasn't any previous patches and the patch applied fine, you should be good to go as it would be the same as applying that patch to the vanilla source tree. Either way test the package.
