What Thomas means is this: It looks like you directly fetched these patches from some mailing list archive. Then it would be cleaner to let buildroot download them from there, rather than copying the patch in the buildroot tree. If for whatever reason it is difficult to retrieve from the 'net, then it would be nice if you could clean up the patches a little. Some of them even create a .orig file... > (currently they are on my server but I don't know how long I can keep > them there, > keeping enterprise ready Internet connection is not exactly cheap here) > > Those adns patches can be grabbed from here: > http://www.micro-os.com/ No, we don't want to ask you to host those patches - then it's better to keep them in the buildroot tree.
