<patch> element should be extended to support the following:

<patch>

<file>path-to-patch-file</file> <digest>md5-or-other-sum-of-file</digest> <reference>URL-to-get-patch-file</reference>

</patch>

The element will then download the file if necessary, checks its digest, and issue the patch command as follows:

patch -N -p1 path-to-patch-file

in the current or specified <base>, of course. If the file is compressed, it will be decompressed as it is passed to the patch command (just as the <unpack> element does). Should support a <mode> attribute, of "forward" (the default) or "reverse", and also a <strip> attribute (default of 1). Any other patch options can be specified by using <param> attributes, which will be appended to the constructed command line.

Issues:

• should this be syntax version 3.2?

• should this be a new element name, or is changing the existing element acceptable?

On Version 1.1.8, the file new_download.c contains the following code in methode get_url.

#ifdef HAVE_LIBCURL

status = load_url(file, url);

#else

status = execute_command("wget --progress=dot -O %s %s%s", file, url);

#endif

The last %s should be removed to avoid random characters to be added to url parameter

Adding new elements to the profile, by choosing them from the list of known ones (after parsing nalfs.dtd for example). Also add necessary elements for a new <package>.
