Can we not just do something like the bash PKGBUILD?
if [ $_patchlevel -gt 000 ]; then for p in $(seq -w 001 $_patchlevel); do source=(${source[@]} http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.0-patches/bash40-$p) done fi
Yes and no. After it hits 100, they make one big bundle for those 100 patches and remove the originals (it's stupid). So if the patch level is 342, you need to download patches "1-100", "101-200", "201-300", 301, 302, ..., 341, 342.
