--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> ---
Thanks for the bug report! We do not want to rely on the patch version though.
Indeed, what if someone that has a patch > = 2.7 on his machine adds a patch
using renames to Buildroot, which gets committed, and then this Buildroot gets
used by someone having a patch < 2.7 on his machine ? The build will break. So
clearly, we should not make it behave differently depending on the patch
version.

The uncompression part is correct though. Would you mind submitting it as a
proper patch to the Buildroot mailing list, with a commit log and
Signed-off-by, so that we can apply it ? Thanks!
