The part about rebasing existing patches is clear. But why are we for example adding mips_cfi.patch when this is not upstream? There might be a good reason for doing so, but "because it is a Debian patch" is not a good reason. And the existing hppa/hurd/kfreebsd patches from Debian are unlikely to make sense in OE. > //Hongxu cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness.
