Step 4 probably wiped out your patch. rpmbuild will re-unpack the source directory and build it from scratch. Any local modifications you made to it prior to that get tossed. If you want your patch to stick, you have to put a copy of it in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and reference it from the spec file. I see Ian's already given a diff of a spec file later in this thread to show how to do that. -- Dave Miller http://www.justdave.net/ System Administrator, Mozilla Corporation http://www.mozilla.com/ Project Leader, Bugzilla Bug Tracking System http://www.bugzilla.org/ _______________________________________________ unionfs mailing list: http://unionfs.filesystems.org/ unionfs@mail.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu http://www.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/mailman/listinfo/unionfs
