[Buildroot] BR: patching diff f7abec2d1d1e5... direct

[Nataraj S Narayan]

Hi

I was trying to patch the diff of commit
f7abec2d1d1e52f49f7d95c48165cde8cf41edb6 (patch) by 	Jean-Christophe
PLAGNIOL-VILLARD, in the 'package' dir of buildroot.

I believe I am making some mistake here.

# patch -p1< Makefile.package.in.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- a/package/Makefile.package.in
|+++ b/package/Makefile.package.in
--------------------------
File to patch:
Skip this patch? [y] n
File to patch: Makefile.package.in
patching file Makefile.package.in
patch: **** malformed patch@line 4: define DOWNLOAD_GIT


Plz help me to do this right.


regards

Nataraj

All patches must be applied from the top directory of the source tree,
i.e not inside the package dir of Buildroot. This is nothing specific
to Buildroot: it works like this for all open-source projects.
