There's been talk on IRC about trying to get people to switch from Patch: to PatchFile:. However, I have encountered a situation in one of my own packages in which the benefits of PatchFile can't be fully utilized.
In maxima(-nox) I declare Patch: %n.patch i.e. maxima uses maxima.patch and maxima-nox uses maxima-nox.patch. maxima-nox.patch has a block that is identical to maxima.patch, so I could in principle make that part a common PatchFile for both, and then apply the patching specific to maxima-nox separately, but that second patching operation doesn't get any of the benefits of PatchFile. I'd prefer not to have to go to separate .info files and thereby lose out on the convenience of Variants. Is there a better way to handle this, other than changing fink to handle multiple PatchFiles? ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
