Hi everyone,
RPM has deprecated the `%patchN` syntax in favor of `%patch -PN` where
`N` is the patch number. See the RPM documentation for more information
[1]. In current RPM versions, this syntax only emits a deprecation
warning, but support for this syntax has been removed completely on the
rpm master branch [2]. Around 100 packages maintained by the go-sig
still use this syntax.
Later this week/early next week, I will run this script [3] over the
affected go-sig packages [4] to update them to the modern patch syntax.
For example, the script will change:
%patch0 -p1 -> %patch -P0 -p1
%patch0005 -p2 -> %patch -P0005 -p2
If anyone has any objections or would like to exclude a package, please
let me know.
