Yes, that's in the nature of incremental patches. You would usually try to
get patches merged upstream regularly. And if upstream doesn't do that for a
long time, you may need to rediff patches occasionally. Or join them with
a private working-copy of the source code tree in order to reduce the number
of patches to apply in a src.rpm. With a high number of patches and many
modifications in the same files, maintaining a private patched source code tree
may be the more convenient solution.

"rpmbuild -bp foo.spec" and then tar the build dir. That's not what's done
in Fedora, though.
