If the ArchLinux patches apply without any adaptation, have you considered using: CPIO_PATCH = \ https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/cpio-2.11-stdio.in.patch?h=packages/cpio \ ... instead ? > +CPIO_VERSION = 2.11 > +CPIO_SITE = http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cpio > +CPIO_LICENSE = GPLv3 It's GNU stuff, so GPLv3+.
