The %patch one is rather simple and results in a build failure; monitoring your devel packages should give you hints very soon if your package is impacted. We created submit requests for most, if not all, packages affected by that in the last months.
Shouldn't this be extended to sources as well? There can be more than one Source entry after all and Source will work as well as Source0, Source1, Source2 etc.
I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind this change. It will result in unnecessary FTBFS.
The point of this change is so that %PATCHN can eventually behave like %SOURCEN (point to the path of the patch file) rather than being masked by a macro that applies the patch. It also allows %prep to be a completely normal scriptlet like the other phases. This warning has been emitted since RPM 4.18, too. And it doesn't affect you if you use %autosetup or %setup + %autopatch. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
