Hi! I plan to change the default for PATCH_DIST_STRIP (the setting used for apply upstream patches downloaded via PATCHFILES) from the current -p0 to -p1. I don't remember when I last saw an upstream patch that was just comparing just plain foo.orig to foo. Most, if not all of them, now look like e.g. git provides them, i.e. comparing a/foo to b/foo. I'll check for users of packages that use PATCHFILES but not PATCH_DIST_STRIP and set it to -p0 there first, so this is just a heads-up. Cheers, Thomas
