Skipping patch. > 19 out of 19 hunks ignored [] This patch was done for inconsistent -pN param, I fixed it now, and checked that it applies and builds. At the same time, there're ongoing changes for OPIE in OE.dev, so if you want to just build apps for your production handheld, OpenZaurus branch is recommended. Otherwise, we'd need Zaurus people to test OPIE changes in OE.dev, so your help is appreciated, but expect some breakage then. My general approach to solve current OPIE issues is to reduce machine discrepancies in its build to zero, set common requirements for a machine to be supported in OPIE (adhering to which will automatically mean that machine is supported) and re-review every patch to QT/E for unavoidability of application in the current situation (that one being the situation that original OPIE maintainers no longer have interest/resources to maintain it). In this regard, kernel-keymap.patch is in gray area - it currently being applied inconsistently without even clear major platform distinction (currently it is applied to Zauruses and Jornada PocketPC's). So it should be re-evaluated for benefits it offer vs possible requirements it has and maintenance burden, and either being applied consistently for all machines, or dropped. I wanted to discuss these issues with Holger (zecke) (and other core OPIE folks who'd have time/interest) on IRC first, but now that this issue was raised, I dump this "seed" message here... -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
