Patches in Red Hat SRPM
I'm building the latest Rawhide SRPM:
<http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/subversion-1.1.0-5.src.rpm>
I note that it includes 4 patches. Are any of these appropriate to include
in the upstream sources? Here's the patch comments:
Patch .swig:
Remove code to pick up LDFLAGS for swig; breaks for lib64.
Patch .deplibs:
APR and APR-util are patched to store dependencies in the .la file.
Patch .rpath:
Only pass -rpath $(libdir) on the link line when linking libraries,
not programs.
Patch .pie:
Build subversion executables as PIEs. Requires a slight jig to
ensure that executables in the test suite are *not* build using
-pie, since that doesn't work when main() is not itself an
object built with -pie.

mirrorservice.org allows you to peek inside archive files (including rpms)
it mirrors, and download individual files from inside the rpm - for example,
download just the patches, rather then the entire SRPM:
<http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/subversion-1.1.0-5.src.rpm%5Bpeek%5D>
The "swig" and "rpath" patches are probably suitable to be included
upstream. "deplibs" appears to be in response to Fedora-local patching of
apr. Some of the infrastructure in "pie" might be absorbable, to make the
"pie" patch smaller.
