Hi all!

I need some help concerning bbappend.
I've created a bbappend file:

    FILESEXTRAPATHS := "${THISDIR}/files"
    SRC_URI += "file://xyzzy.patch"

If I run a bitbake it complains about missing ..../xyzzy.patch
When I change the bbappend file to this:

    SRC_URI += "file:///absolute-path-to-the-file/files/xyzzy.patch"

then everything works fine...
(As a workaround this will do)

Any help is appreciated!!
Jaap
