[Buildroot] Problem patching linux

[Buildroot] Problem patching linux

[Will Wagner]

Hi All,

I have a custom board in target/device/my_board. Inside that folder I 
have a kernel_patches folder and I have changed the config so that it 
should apply my patches.

It all works when applying the patches for the kernel headers, but it 
fails to patch the actual kernel. This is because of the different ways 
the patch-kernel.sh script is called.

In kernel-headers-new.makefile it is:
	toolchain/patch-kernel.sh $(LINUX_HEADERS_UNPACK_DIR) 
$(KERNEL_HEADERS_PATCH_DIR) \
		\*.patch{,.gz,.bz2}

But in the linux Makefile.in it is:
	toolchain/patch-kernel.sh $(LINUX26_DIR) $(KERNEL_HEADERS_PATCH_DIR) \
		linux-$(LINUX26_VERSION)-\*.patch{,.gz,.bz2}

The regex is much tougher when actually patching the kernel. The problem 
I have it that my patch files are all in this format:

012-linux-2.6.22.19-some_patch

I need the numbers at the beginning to ensure they get patched in the 
right order.

How should I fix this? How should my patch files be named? Is this just 
a bug in the patching of the kernel?

Thanks,

Will.

name it linux-2.6.22.19-012-some_patch

the patch kernel reads the files in the same order as the ls command would
print them, so if you have linux-2.6.22.19-012-some_patch and
linux-2.6.22.19-013-another_patch it will order them like you want.
