Description Carlos Rafael Giani 2016-05-23 16:55:41 UTC 
When writing a recipe, I was wondering why some patches weren't being applied.
Turns out that SRC_URI lines with patchdir require a trailing slash, otherwise the patch is silently dropped.

So, a line like:

  file://fix-505.patch;patchdir=src

will cause fix-505.patch to not be applied, while

  file://fix-505.patch;patchdir=src/

will apply it.

I was using Krogoth, poky at git commit 898a78357e72fb80f1f8e26ba90bad5b7b054a4f .

Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce this on latest master (94d89ab75efbac4486c581a53cbd90e843c3fde4). Are you still seeing this?
Comment 2 Markus Lehtonen 2016-08-02 14:41:40 UTC 
I also tried latest Krogoth, but wasn't able to reproduce
Comment 3 Saul Wold 2016-08-31 20:46:26 UTC 
Still awaiting feedback from Carlos who is busy until beginning/mid september

It is weird. I tried several times now, but cannot reproduce this.
I recommend to close this. If I ever see this error again, I'll reopen it.
