Potential bug in NetworkManager.Slackbuild on -current (patches not applied)
Hi,
In the slackbuild for NM on -current there appears to be a mistake on lines 88-97 where patches are supposed to be applied. I believe the output of zcat should be piped to patch and not OR'ed with it.
I might be completely wrong here (have barely any experience in shell scripting) - the reason why I looked at the NM slackbuild is because I'm still experiencing same issues as with unpatched NM and this seems to be incorrect.
Thanks!

Reason: Change of title to indicate which version of slackware I'm reporting for
Yep, that's a bug - those patches aren't being applied. Well spotted.
I've just been through the rest of the slackware64-current source tree and no other SlackBuilds suffer from the same problem, so fortunately this is an isolated incident.

n/NetworkManager-1.0.10-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Fixed build script to properly apply the patches.
Thanks to K4rolis and rworkman.
