New comment by ericonr on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/30036#issuecomment-815275796 Comment: The `linux5.11` template does it, for one. We chose to go with `pre_patch` there, but I think `post_extract` is equally valid. > Well, I use it, sometimes. That's why I packaged it for myself a few years ago :-) Ah, I guess that's reason enough to make it a system package, then ;) Would be nice if sage released proper fully patched tarballs, though.
