Hmm, now I am really confused. When my sources file just had the tar ball,
I was told it needed the patches too. Now that it has the patches, i am
told it doesn't need anything but the tar ball.

This errors stems from me not finding documentation on how to properly update
a package with a new patch and version. Since I originally used the cvs-import.sh
script to import a src rpm into my devel/fc4/fc3 branches, as documented on
the website, I had never used the 'make new-sources FILES="filelist"' command
before. Apparnetly I have wrongly used it when just adding the new patch file to the
FILES list, thereby obliterating the checksum of the tarball from 'sources', but
I also did it wrong when i redid new-sources using a full FILES="" list containing
tar ball and all patches.

Could someone tell me, or better yet, write up on the wiki, what is the appropriate
cooking recipe for upgrading your package with an additional patch/source file?

ps. the same problem exists for another package of mine that needs rebuilding for FC5,
fetchlog.
