See s> http://elinux.org/Buildroot:DeveloperDaysFOSDEM2013 s> for details. In summary: s> * For patches stored in the package directory, if s> package/// does exist, apply package///*.patch, s> otherwise, apply package//*.patch s> * For patches stored in the global patches directory, if s> $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/// does exist, apply s> $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)///*.patch, otherwise, apply s> $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)//*.patch s> This patch adds the new BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR configuration item, and reworks s> the generic package infrastructure to implement the new patch logic. Committed with the minor doc nits pointed out by Thomas fixed, thanks! -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
