RPM build

[Shahzad Chohan]

Hi

I'm trying to ammend a config file for samhain. Here's my patch file
which I generated by untarring two samhain packages then altering the
samhainrc.linux config file in one then ran  diff -uNr samahain
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

My patch file looks like this:

diff -uNr samhain-2.0.5b/samhainrc.linux samhain-2.0.5b-my/samhainrc.linux
--- samhain-2.0.5b/samhainrc.linux      2004-10-11 08:14:30.000000000 +0100
+++ samhain-2.0.5b-my/samhainrc.linux   2005-05-04 13:03:55.000000000 +0100
@@ -1,669 +1,104 @@

etc......


Any Help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks
