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?
