And some man page studying for rpmbuild options. I tried to edit the .c source, but then it refused to build and that was not the error it spit out. We'll poke at it some more tomorrow unless I start plowing thru the sources I have for sc6551.asm to make that driver, for an H63C09 equipt trs-80 Color Computer 3, now running Nitros9. Specifically, I need rpmbuild to stop after unpacking and patching the tarball, giving me a chance to edit the .c file to change that, and then restart at the next step. I've been through the man page a couple of times, and how to do that hasn't exactly reached up and slapped me. Hints welcome of course.
