Re: [meta-virtualization] [PATCH RESEND] libvirt: fix python3 compatibility in hook_support.py

[Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@gmail.com>]

Still won't apply via patch:

% git am -s ~/incoming/0003-_meta-virtualization_PATCH_RESEND_libvirt_fix_python3_compatibility_in.patch
Applying: libvirt: fix python3 compatibility in hook_support.py
error: libvirt/libvirt/hook_support.py: does not exist in index
Patch failed at 0001 libvirt: fix python3 compatibility in hook_support.py
hint: Use 'git am --show-current-patch=diff' to see the failed patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".

You are generating the patch using non-standard prefixes. I've fixed it
by using -p0

To fix it on your end, set diff.noprefix=false or omit it, or use
git format-patch without --no-prefix

But no need to resend, this is now applied.
