I've got a number of packages I'm using the source service for.
I'm downloading both the tarball and specfile using the source service.
There is a problem, however: I need a few changes to the specfile to be able to actually build in OBS. (Things like %setup -n %{name} vs %setup -q)
Is there currently a way to have OBS apply a patch to a specfile before running the build?
no, there isn't atm.
You may want to write such a service which allows to apply patches :)
I suspected that would be the case, and that is in fact what I did.
However, in this case I think it is better to modify the upstream spec file or to work on a copy.
The problem is we have to support multiple build systems, and it's not desirable (at this time) to have every specfile updated to support both; instead, the plan is to have a patch necessary for OBS builds, and store the specfile alongside the original specfile.
