Description Robert Yang 2013-09-13 09:15:37 UTC

The following patches are found, but not used by any recipe, maybe we should remove them in 1.6:

$ for i in `find meta -name '*.patch' -o -name '*.diff'`;do bn=`basename $i`; re="`grep -q -r $bn meta*`"; if [ $? -ne 0 ] ;then echo $i; fi; done

Comment 1 Robert Yang 2013-09-13 09:16:53 UTC

We need to review them one by one and remove them in 1.6

Comment 2 Chong Lu 2014-02-27 07:09:08 UTC

It has been resolved.
