Right now, every time I emerge -u I have to check if I have patches for a package on the updated list, and if so make a new subdirectory for the new version and copy or link the patches there [1]. This is a chore I could live without. So my question is if there's any wildcard mechanism to match multiple versions. [1] Some fail to apply of course but that's ok, still less work to see which ones fail than to try checking separately each patch if it applies or not. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
