Copr patch syntax compat

Hey all, while trying to build some centos-stream packages via git in copr, recently I get

error: %patchN is obsolete, use %patch N (or %patch -P N)

aborted builds. I can patch the specs files for all builds but (question) is there a compat switch to be able to build unmodified packages coming from centos-stream git?

The target buildroots are centos/rhel, so the compat issue is a layer before starting the build …
