Thanks, Andreas. How, then, do I develop a patch RPM? Are there spec file macros that tell rpmbuild that this is a patch?
Basically you just need two different version of a package to create a patch from a to b. The creation of a patch rpm is done by a special program, which isn't publicly available to my knowledge - but AFAIK there are attempts to change this. Michael will know for sure ;)

Enjoy, Michael.
Since there's no RPMs available, I've created a spec file[0] and built the packages. Source and binary RPMs are available from: <URL:http://www.davjam.org/~davjam/linux/patchrpm/index.htm> [0] quick and nasty, but does the job :) Regards, David Bolt -- Member of Team Acorn checking nodes at 50 Mnodes/s: http://www.distributed.net/ AMD1800 1Gb WinXP/SUSE 9.3 | AMD2400 256Mb SuSE 9.0 | A3010 4Mb RISCOS 3.11 AMD2400(32) 768Mb SUSE 10.0 | RPC600 129Mb RISCOS 3.6 | Falcon 14Mb TOS 4.02 AMD2600(64) 512Mb SUSE 10.0 | A4000 4Mb RISCOS 3.11 | STE 4Mb TOS 1.62
