Trying to repackage JOSM, stuck on error with patches

[marvin_ita]

Hi,
I'm trying to make an updated rpm for JOSM, starting from the source RPM I found on koji (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=10497).
However, when I issue the 'rpmbuild -bp' command I get

$ rpmbuild -bp josm.spec

In another file I found the problem, changed the patch and I made it work, but with the build.xml I cannot see the reason it won't work, since the patch seems perfectly to me...

It worked fine for me after fixing the MainApplication.java issue.
I did notice that the build.xml portion of the patch is in cr/lf dos-style format.
You didn't change that did you? That could mess up being able to apply it.
Depending on the editor used, it could have reformatted it without you knowing.

[marvin_ita]

That was the problem, thanks!
I used Kwrite to edit the patch and I didn't notice it was DOS formatted in the first lines.... editing from terminal did the trick!

Strange is that if I removed that patch from the .spec file there was another patch (that I didn't edit) failing on build.xml... :confused:

Another question... I think I must change the REVISION.XML file in the source directory to match the actual revision or the program always complains it must be upgraded.
Is there a place where I can find that file in the git or svn repository or I must edit it by hand? How have you resolved this issue?

Thank you

It's not unusual to have later patches be dependant on earlier ones, especially as new patches are added on for newer releases and the older patch still works. Occasionally they will sometimes combine the patches, but not always.

I don't actually use the program, I just grabbed it to test your case.
Not sure how it checks that. If you can't seem to locate it, let me know and I'll grab it again to see what I can find.

Thank you Vallimar, I think I did it (I manually grabbed the info from svn and created the revision.xml file).

Great job! I find it rewarding and liberating to not be stuck with only what the distribution(s) offer.
