Did you know you still can/have to pass it a prefix level? That
tripped
me up for a while. For most cases, you want:
%autosetup -p1
That's probably what I needed last time, but it was faster to add a %patch line than
to investigate :). I find out nowadays there are lots of things I could do better if only
I had the time to look them up.
If you have patches that apply at different levels, you can't use
it,
unless there's a trick I don't know about.
My patches are all -p1 as taught by ancient rpm lore, but sometimes I mix patches from
other origins and those can be anything.
Thanks for the tip, I will try to remember it
