Subject: [PATCH 3/9] oe/patch: convert simple runcmd shell callers
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 15:35:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623133521.17053-4-anders.heimer@est.tech> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623133521.17053-1-anders.heimer@est.tech>

Replace simple sh -c runcmd() users with direct argv calls where the
commands do not need shell syntax.

Also replace the cat-to-file redirection used when appending patch files
with shutil.copyfile().
