[rhn-users] rpmbuild and patch that includes new files

[Ken Dyke]

Hi,

I am creating an rpm for an upstream package and want to include some
example conf files that are not in the orginal source tarball.  I did a

  diff -Nur <tree.orig> <tree> > conf_file.patch

Then in the spec file:

  %patch0 -p1 -b conf_file.patch

works but creates empty files

  file1.conf.conf_file.patch
  file2.conf.conf_file.patch

How do I suppress these empty files?

I was using Free Open Source Software (FOSS) in 1969, but we did not call it
that at the time. We called it "software".
