Hello guys,

Let's just say i want to build my own package fontconfig based on
original Fedora SRPM and add some custom patches.

After installing SRPM , i will have in SOURCES/
fontconfig-2.6.0.tar.gz , which is original .

Now i will apply first patch :

Patch1: patches.diff , and in %prep section i will execute : %patch1 -p1 .

Done, now i have patched source of fontconfig-2.6.0 in
BUILD/fontconfig-2.6.0/ directory.

This is easy and now it comes . Patch1 created additional directory
BUILD/fontconfig-2.6.0/add_patches/ . In this directory there are 3
more patches ,patchX.diff, patchY.diff, patchZ.diff .

I need to use them in %prep section , after i will execute Patch1.

Please tell me how ?

Thanks in advance!

David
