Mine is not meant to be equivalent, it is meant to be more (and patch32lsb is not going to try to keep up with it, so it isn't totally parallel). So far (except for this version, but probably not too many others), GeoffR has been updating the patches (either in the new or the old format), and I have been adding them to kobopatch. One is usually the source of truth for the patches, except for the few kobopatch-exclusive ones.
As for the zlib patches, since kobopatch makes it WAY easier to maintain them, I can write a converter to the old format if anyone wants it.
The thing is, I've designed kobopatch so it can be as complex or as simple as you need it. If you only want the basics (like the old version), you can modify the patch files directly and ignore kobopatch.yaml. The new syntax should be pretty simple to pick up. I'm also willing to add anything to make it simpler (if it even can be made simpler). Some of my future plans include: automatic firmware downloading, an automated patch removal tool, optional automated installation, and if I can get it to work (I've been unsucessful so far), a virtual kobo in QEMU.
