Patches management and RPM building - examples wanted

[zlj]

Hi, first of all, thanks for the all great work made on pb so far!

I have some patches to apply to source tree before building RPM package, but I can't figure out how to apply them with pb in a right way.

I'd really appreciate any example which can clarify the process.

Thanks.

Sorry for the lack of documentation, I'm trying to improve that Ex:  http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/pb-doc/pb.conf.pod)

Back to your point, you could have a look at what I'm doing with buffer/afio:  http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/projects/afio/pbconf/2.5/afio/pbpatch/01-fedora-patches.all

In short, if you create a pbpatch directory under your package dir, and order your patches in it, and then use the macros PBPATCHSRC and PBPATCHCMD in your spec file (ex:  http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/projects/afio/pbconf/2.5/afio/rpm/afio.spec) you should be able to produce rpms the way you want.

Feel free to improve that page with your findings:  http://trac.project-builder.org/wiki/Documentation#Usingpatches
