When patch is commented in spec file and not deleted, there should be comment, explaining this. e.g. # FIXME: This patch should be backported. #%patch2 # Uncomment this patch, if automake fails. #%patch3
Some RPM macros are applied regardless of whether they're commented out or now. Are you 100% sure that #%patch will not be applied ? I've seen pretty weird stuff with that. I'd suggest changing %patch2 to #patch2 instead of #%patch2 (unless, of course, you're sure no RPM 4.x version will apply #%patch2)
%patch is not a macro (it just looks like one). Same is true for %prep, %package, %changelog and the like. Using '#' on such pseudo macros works. Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls@suse.de main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);}
