**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon May 10 02:59:56 2021 May 10 08:25:02 good morning May 10 22:34:09 I don't get it, patching the kernel always worked for me, now I am getting "Patch needs to be refreshed. Sample resolution script" and I am not sure why this is happening; the only two patches applied by the above layer do not touch the file that I am patching, so how can it fail? I created the patches by diffing mine and vanilla kernel sources (only a .dts tuning for cubieboard) May 10 22:34:26 is this somehow "kernel-meta" related? I think I missed that thing completely, thats something relatively new, right? May 10 22:34:46 I see: Context reduced git-am of .kernel-meta//patches//./cubietruck_spi_dts.patch with "git am" did not work, trying "apply" May 10 22:36:53 that is actually even weirder, it says: error: scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/arm/sun7i-a20-cubietruck.dts: does not exist in index May 10 22:37:05 while it does exist in the tarball of the kernel sources May 10 22:37:39 well, not quite, I am trying to patch linux-5.4.18/arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20-cubietruck.dts, no idea why bitbake would tell me something about scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/arm/sun7i-a20-cubietruck.dts May 10 22:57:52 I am really puzzled, I thought its maybe striplevels or what not, but it just won't accept my primitive patch which I am sure has no conflicts with the other 2 that are being added by linux-sunxi May 10 22:58:54 and it only seems to happen with the kernel, other packages work as usual, i.e. just add any patch to SRC_URI and that's it May 10 22:58:58 what am I missing? May 10 23:05:44 i wouldn't generate it from a vanilla tree, use devtool modify -x or hop into tmp/work-shared/kernel-source after a build and do it there, to ensure you're going relative to a patched tree. May 10 23:29:39 kergoth: ok thx, will try, never used devtool before May 10 23:32:42 although I'll start with kernel-soure first :> May 10 23:36:30 heh seems you were right, my patch was bogus after all, I just got too confused by the messages; seems vanilla had a link the same dts and diff -Naur picked up my change twice May 10 23:36:36 thank you :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue May 11 02:59:57 2021
