Nikhil, It's not recommended, but it was always possible. Here's an old example from OE Classic, as I couldn't find any recent one: http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded/tree/recipes/busybox/busybox_1.7.2.bb We moved away from that practice, as upstream used to constantly tweak and change patches, breaking the build all the time. Having patches in metadata gives more control, as updating patches, their checksums and making sure the build doesn't break can be done at the same time. -- Denys _______________________________________________ meta-arago mailing list [email protected] http://arago-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/meta-arago
