(so that it also takes care of > recognize the right strip option) I don't think there are any problems. I've been using a modified base.eclass that died if patching failed for the last few weeks, so I know the packages I have installed don't have failing patches. Since this thread started I've modified it to use epatch and so far that's worked OK. So I think we can commit this (with epatch, that is). Can I consider the thread so far a consensus to let me do it? BTW, I've managed to lost all my mail from Thursday, so if there was something relevant in this thread could someone please forward it to me. -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux developer (KDE) Public GPG key: http://dev.gentoo.org/~danarmak/danarmak-gpg-public.key Fingerprint: DD70 DBF9 E3D4 6CB9 2FDD 0069 508D 9143 8D5F 8951 pgp57yoBzRYYI.pgp Description: PGP signature

It's just that base.eclass existed long before epatch, so it doesn't use it :-) Anyway, the effective change would be to die if patching fails (and support patchlevels != 0), so my orig question stands. -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux developer (KDE) Public GPG key: http://dev.gentoo.org/~danarmak/danarmak-gpg-public.key Fingerprint: DD70 DBF9 E3D4 6CB9 2FDD 0069 508D 9143 8D5F 8951 pgp1TSvWrd5Iy.pgp Description: PGP signature
