I udes devtool to remove one of the existing patches and replace it with another. I got a build error - patch not found, referring to the one I removed. When I looked into the bb file, the SRC_URI looked like this: SRC_URI = "https://download.clearlinux.org/releases/5700/clear/source/SRPMS/${BPN}-${PV}-105.src.rpm;extract=${BP}.tar.gz \ file://Fix-build-failure-on-Yocto.patch \ file://Right-usage-of-AC_ARG_ENABLE-on-bzip2.patch \ file://Change-systemctl-path-to-OE-systemctl-path.patch \ file://0001-Tolerate-quotes-in-os-release-files.patch \ file://0005-swupd-client-Add-existence-check-to-staging-target.patch \ file://0006-Backport-Use-rename-instead-of-tar-transform.patch \ file://0007-Add-compatibility-with-libarchive-s-bsdtar-command.patch \ file://0001-log.c-avoid-segfault-and-show-staging-file-name.patch \ file://0002-downloads-minimize-syscalls-to-improve-performance.patch \ file://0001-globals.c-Use-fake-address-as-default-updates-url.patch \ file://0001-manifest.c-Always-initialize-preserver-pointer-of-fi.patch \ file://0001-Add-configure-option-to-re-enable-updating-of-config.patch \ file://0001-staging.c-Protect-tar-command-against-special-charac.patch \ file://efi_combo_updater.c \ ${@ 'file://efi-combo-trigger.service' if ${OSTRO_USE_DSK_IMAGES} else ''} \ file://0001-Disable-boot-file-heuristics.patch \ file://efi_combo_updater.c \ ${@ 'file://efi-combo-trigger.service' if ${OSTRO_USE_DSK_IMAGES} else ''} \ file://0001-Disable-boot-file-heuristics.patch \ file://efi_combo_updater.c \ ${@ 'file://efi-combo-trigger.service' if ${OSTRO_USE_DSK_IMAGES} else ''} \ file://0001-Make-optional-the-special-handling-of-boot-files.patch \ " Notice that efi_combo_updater.c is now referred to 3 times and 0001-Disable-boot-file-heuristics.patch 2 times. Unfortunately I do not recall the exact sequence of operations I did in the workspace, but they involved generating few patches, then squashing them and updating the original recipe. I'll add more info if I see this happening again, but I thought it might be better to document it. 62178 1 igor.stoppa 2016-05-13 12:47:32 +0000 Also efi-combo-trigger.service is listed 3 times. 62180 2 igor.stoppa 2016-05-13 14:14:29 +0000 I figured out what was happening: a separate bbappend file was adding to the git stack the 0001-Disable-boot-file-heuristics.patch, which I removed. This didn't alter the bbappend, thought, so when I tried to build again, the bbappend was still causing bitbake to look for the patch that is no more. It's kinda complex, so I understand that it must be trick to deal with it from devtools, but it was very easy for me to shoot myself in the foot. 96869 3 randy.macleod 2023-10-24 14:24:33 +0000 Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99 101012 4 randy.macleod 2025-02-14 16:46:36 +0000 bulk change to add Saul's non-WR address. 101038 5 randy.macleod 2025-02-14 16:48:14 +0000 Bulk change: Remove Saul's old WR address.
