apply a patch to a complete meta-xxx - before using it (in kas)?

apply a patch to a complete meta-xxx - before using it (in kas)?

[star]

I need a version of a meta-xxx repo that has new syntax ":" instead of
"_". Some other minor things have to be changed too (as compatibility
string)

I check that meta-xxx out by help of kas tool.
Do I have a chance to apply a patch right there once the meta-xxx has
been cloned? The kas docu confuses me a lot.
Guess I can't do it in Yocto, as my first bitbake command it will
complain about the syntax, so I can't "repair" that inside yocto.
Or am I wrong?

Best regards

I'd suggest you fork the layer into a private repo and add the needed
changes on top as proper commits. Given that the layer doesn't have
the new syntax, it's almost certainly abandoned, and you won't lose
any changes because they will never happen.

That is something I can do, sure. Thanks for hint, Alex.
But in fact it's the other way around, the repo I refer to is newer, and
I need that in an older Yocto3.0 build.
So just in case someone knows how this works. But yes - forking a layer
is possible too, but far massive than apply a slim patch.

Yocto 3.0 is ancient and isn't supported. Is there a reason you can't
migrate to scarthgap?

I know, I know - customer request! Need to fix something in an older
project (nothing else should be changed) - but didn't managed these
patch to meta-xxx so far. I just want to improve that.

Yes, kas can do that with the patches property of any repo. I wouldn't
recommend using it but this works.

Do you have an example maybe?
Kas complained about my attempts with (for me not) readable kind of
error message.

As a tiny example, 
https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-arm/commit/?id=fef5eafc0858b790df22b7e4025f8efcde1d84b2 is where we added a patch to meta-arm’s kas files to patch poky.

Thanks Ross,
can't test it right now, but I see my mistake. I located the patch
inside the layer structure. But why this procps entry?
There isn't any procps structure that could be addressed in meta-arm,
isn't it?
I read your example as: There is a patch 0001...patch that has to be
applied to meta-arm repo (in general).

This was a patch in the meta-arm repository that was being applied to poky.  The patch explains why. :)
