Oh, you need to modify the _link file as well :) That's why I was pointing 
you to the examples that are already using it.

Here is an example:

  <link project='home:cthiel1' package='openobex'>
  <patches>
    <apply name='mandriva-patch.diff'/>
  </patches>
  </link>

This one will just apply the patch mandriva-patch.diff on the 
linked-specfile.


Here is another example, that's using the topadd option, which could be 
used to define macros:

  <link project="screen" package="screen">
  <patches>
    <apply name="patch"/>
    <topadd># hello, screen</topadd>
  </patches>
  </link>


Actually, I'm not sure if we already document those features anywhere? 
[There is quite some stuff in the backend, that's not yet utilized by the 
frontends.
