|samhain-mine > samhain.patch
|
|I then put these lines in the samhain rpm spec file:
|
|Patch0: samhain-2.0.5b.patch
|and ...:
|%prep
|%setup -q -n samhain-%{version}
|%patch -p1

The problem is with this line.
should be:
~    %patch0 -p1


|
|My patch file looks like this:
|
|diff -uNr samhain-2.0.5b/samhainrc.linux
samhain-2.0.5b-my/samhainrc.linux

| Shahzad,
|
| I think we need more information:
| ~    (1)  What does the patch file look like?
| ~    (2)  Be sure you created the patch file with 'diff -urNp' or
| simular.
| ~    (3)  In the %prep seciton you have the ':patchxx -p1' command,
| where xx is the number you assigned to the patch.
| ~    (4)  After the Sources you have a Patchxx:   <patch-file-name>,
| again where xx is the uniuqe patch number and <patch-file-name> is the
| patch file name located in the SOURCES directory.
|
| Can you send a small snippet of the diff file (patch file), the
| relavent change you made to the .spec file?  This information would be
| very valuable in helping.
