Hi,

Sorry if this arrives twice, mail server issues....
I am creating a new package and I need to create a patch. I followed
what I could find here (the steps describing how to use quilt):

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Fixing_bugs

The first step failed as there are no packages yet. Thus I didn't quite
know what to do and just remained in my "top level directory", i.e. the
directory that contains the .spec file and the tarball. I unpacked the
tarball and following the steps outlined I managed to get my patch created.

Now I have a patches directory with my patch file
(qpidc-0.6-fix-xqill-interface-problem.patch) and a file named "series".

In my spec file I added:

Patch0:    %{short_name}-%{version}-fix-xqill-interface-problem.patch

and

%prep
%setup -q -n %srcdir_name-%{version}
%patch0

(the %patch0 line is new)

Upon build I get:

error: Bad source:
/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/qpid-cpp-0.6-fix-xqill-interface-problem.patch: No
such file or directory

That doesn't really surprise me since I have no idea how this is all
supposed to work together.

Can someone please guide me through this process?

Thanks,
Robert
