Is there a way to fix this so that my packages modify the .spec to add patches but also track the upstream changes?

Remove the local files that override the files in the linked package. By removing <branch/> you converted the branch back into a link, and local files are no longer merged.

Andreas.

Ah, so patching the spec file creates a local spec file, which then won't get merged? I'd assumed that things like <topadd> would be idempotent mutation commands that it could keep re-running as things changed. Is there no way around that? Surely my use case isn't that odd! I think I'm using <topadd> because spec files have started using "%autosetup" and that duplicates the behaviour of the "%patch#" lines that conventional <add> tags in the _link file added (so patching ends up failing because it tries re-applying an already applied patch). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
