Thanks I'll try to get to that soon.

Right, the patch syntax is deprecated for future versions of EL.  EL10 
continues to support the old syntax with a warning.  I believe that EL8 
(and possibly 9) do not support the newer syntax, so at the moment it's 
easiest to continue to use the old syntax until EL11 drops, when that 
happens I'll need to put in some version-specific branching to support 
both old and new syntax on appropriate releases.

As previously discussed, this puts a dependency on a downloadable 
toolchain that can change at a moments notice.  It violates the 
principle of reproducible builds and Fedora specifically changes the 
default for this to local because of this.  If there's a compelling 
reason to change it to auto (such as actual breakage that occurs with 
the local toolchain) then I'll revisit this.

I've used wildcards in %files before, but I agree it's better to name 
files explicitly.  The advantages of naming explicit files is your build 
breaks when the files change and you get a chance to review it and 
understand the differences and what effect it has on your package 
instead of just slurping in the changes without review.  The downsides 
is that sometimes the file list can grow quite long and create a 
significant amount of work to maintain.  At the end of the day I dont' 
really have a huge preference and I might change my approach on a 
case-by-case basis.

Updated, thanks.

I'm thinking it might be better to compile the markdown to a standard 
text file, then no special reader will be necessary.  I'll do that and 
update the patch accordingly.
