Salutations,

While debugging a libva-intel-driver issue, I found that makepkg was not reporting failures to patch source files. Is there a reason behind this behavior?

P.S. Happy New Year!

makepkg does not do any patching by itself. Patch commands are given by the user, typically in the prepare() function. Since set -e is used, makepkg will abort if `patch` returns non-zero. What does your PKGBUILD look like?
