About this, there are still problems about committing a change on
base.eclass to use epatch instead of patch? (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.
