From: Simon Dawson Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2013 23:13:47 +0000 (+0000) Subject: rework patch model X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5538e476;p=buildroot.git rework patch model At the Buildroot Developers Meeting (4-5 February 2013, in Brussels) a change to the patch logic was discussed. See http://elinux.org/Buildroot:DeveloperDaysFOSDEM2013 for details. In summary: * For patches stored in the package directory, if package/// does exist, apply package///*.patch, otherwise, apply package//*.patch * For patches stored in the global patches directory, if $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/// does exist, apply $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)///*.patch, otherwise, apply $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)//*.patch This patch adds the new BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR configuration item, and reworks the generic package infrastructure to implement the new patch logic.
