[GLLUG] rpmbuild can't fathom %Patch

[Ken Smith]

Hi all,

I'm trying to package a simple c programme as a .rpm but I'm getting 
stuck with applying a patch.

If I take the patch commands out of my spec file and run rpmbuild -bi I 
can see the  .tar file of the source being unpacked and the compile 
starts as expected. Obviously without the needed patches.

However, if I put "Patch0: rpm-patch" after the Source statements and 
put "patch0: p1" after the %setup statement, I don't see the unpack of 
the source take place, as I would expect when the %setup runs, and the 
patch command following it fails because the files its expecting to 
patch are not there.

I'm sure I've just missed some subtle incantation but I can't see what.

Any suggestions.....

Much appreciated.

Ken
