Hi,

is it ok to do this?

--- defs.NetBSD.mk      10 Dec 2003 13:37:48 -0000      1.56
+++ defs.NetBSD.mk      15 Dec 2003 01:16:23 -0000

-_PATCH_BACKUP_ARG=     -V simple -b    # switch to patch(1) for backup suffix
+_PATCH_BACKUP_ARG?=    -V simple -b    # switch to patch(1) for backup suffix


This enables me to use the following in my /etc/mk.conf:

USE_GPATCH?=no
.if defined(USE_GPATCH) && !empty(USE_GPATCH:M[Yy][Ee][Ss])
PATCH_DEBUG=yes
PATCH=gpatch
_PATCH_BACKUP_ARG=-b -V simple -z
_PATCH_CAN_BACKUP=      yes
.endif

I find it convenient being able to use a different patch program to
examine problems with patches.


ciao
