I ask it here as a favour, please avoid using absolute paths in the filenames of patched files. This mean avoid having stuff like
--- foobar/foo.c +++ /tmp/foobar/foobar.c This tends to break from time to time, and I had to fix at least three packages since I started my treewide build for these problems. I already asked Zac about adding such a check on repoman, but in the mean time I'd like to ask here for people to verify their packages. I actually am culprit of doing this some time ago but I learnt my lesson the hard way :P My suggestion for everybody else is to use quilt when you need to write patches. And if you have patches with the filenames like I shown above, you can change it the git way so that it becomes: --- a/foobar/foo.c +++ b/foobar/foo.c and the problem is usually solved.
