10 d) Default src_prepare accepts only file names in PATCHES
11 Bug #752486 [16]
12
13 This is a tiny change. Currently, the implementation allows "clever"
14 uses like:
15
16 PATCHES=( -d /path/to/patch -p0 -R foo.patch bar.patch )
17
18 This is at least confusing, and not the intended use. Ebuilds that need
19 to apply non-standard patches should add a src_prepare function with
20 explicit eapply calls.
21
22 We fix this by adding a "--" separator to the eapply call, so that it is
23 clear that all elements of PATCHES are file names.
