Reading through the "makeDist" file I see how I might fix 
that call in the Spec file but the real complication for me 
is "makePatch" for which I am struggling to figure out. 
Since this is a distro specific patch I need to await what 
Richard does rather than bumble through an unfamiliar 
process. The un updated application of the patch in the 
build above did not show any errors but I don't know what 
I'm getting in the results since it didn't even start the 
build process yet. I may proceed with some unknowns and see 
what breaks as it is a learning process.
