Bug 948211 – www-servers/nginx eappy_user is called in ${S}, preventing user-patching of nginx modules (patch attached)

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Fedja Beader 2025-01-16 22:02:17 UTC]

www-servers/nginx eapply_user is called in ${S}. As the modules are located in the parent directory (${WORKDIR}), they can never be patched: .. in .patch is simply ignored.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to apply a user patch to any nginx module
2. patch cannot find any file to patch
Actual Results:  
can't find file to patch at input line 17
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Expected Results:  
Patch successfully applied.
