The reason it is being held: Message body is too big: 383953 bytes with a limit of 300 KB" Is there a smarter way to create this patch with git? Actually I am sure there is a smarter way (we can do everything with git :) )but I don't know it. > > package/Config.in | 1 - > package/avrdude/Config.in | 2 +- > package/avrdude/avrdude.mk | 2 +- > package/kexec-lite/Config.in | 2 +- > package/kexec-lite/kexec-lite.mk | 2 +- > package/libelf/Config.in | 7 - > package/libelf/libelf-0.8.10-Elf64-fixups.patch | 12361 ---------------------- > package/libelf/libelf.mk | 23 - > package/ltrace/Config.in | 1 - > package/ltrace/ltrace.mk | 2 +- > 10 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 12398 deletions(-) > delete mode 100644 package/libelf/Config.in > delete mode 100644 package/libelf/libelf-0.8.10-Elf64-fixups.patch > delete mode 100644 package/libelf/libelf.mk > -- Gregory Clement, Free Electrons Kernel, drivers, real-time and embedded Linux development, consulting, training and support. http://free-electrons.com
