Why not let fink test for the presence of the patchscript file? Maybe using a similar mechanism that test for the presence of the source in /sw/src. Let me add that I have no idea about the inner workings of fink, so I might be way out of line :)

Not all packages have a patch file and some may have more than one. So you'd have to add a way to specify what patch files should be there.


That would only solve half the problem anyway. It's still possible for a badly written patch script to return success to fink when part of a piped chain of commands fails.
