[Buildroot] B2_EXTERNAL and patches

[Peter Kuemmel]

I would like use one minimal patched Builroot release in one branch for multiple projects,
so is it also possible to maintain different patches for a packages in different external folders?
Or could the selecition of patches be controlled by a configuration file?
(the different pachtes are necessary because of differenr kernel versions)

You want to have a look at BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR.

Best regards,

you might want to look at https://github.com/Openwide-Ingenierie/buildroot-submodule which is meant to solve that sort of problems.

each variant will share the patch directroy by default, but you can override that on a per-variant basis
