Bug 237872 – Explicitly call gpatch

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description C. 2008-09-16 20:04:06 UTC]

We depend on gnu patch.. Calling explicitly gpatch instead of patch avoids problems on arches where both are installed.

There's a few instances of this in eclass/eutils.eclass

if (cat ${PATCH_TARGET} | patch -p${count} ${popts} --dry-run -f ; _epatch_assert) >> ${ST     DERR_TARGET%/*}/${patchname}-${STDERR_TARGET##*/} 2>&1

if (cat ${PATCH_TARGET} | gpatch -p${count} ${popts} --dry-run -f ; _epatch_assert) >> ${ST     DERR_TARGET%/*}/${patchname}-${STDERR_TARGET##*/} 2>&1

Reproducible: Always

have your profile/system hijack `patch` to go to GNU patch just like is done with sed -> gsed
