Three things are expected of a patch under <package>/patches/ and none of them were written down for contributors. The header has to be git am compatible, with the From/From:/Date:/Subject: lines, which the formality check enforces. The body has to say where the change stands with respect to upstream, so a later maintainer can tell a backport that a version bump makes redundant from a cross-compile fix that has to stay. And the diff has to come from the buildroot's refresh target, which invokes quilt with -p ab --no-index --no-timestamps and QUILT_DIFF_OPTS=-p; a git diff carries index lines and timestamps and lacks the function name in the hunk headers, so it gets sent back even when it applies. Write all three down, and say what each quilt option is for rather than just naming the command, so the reason survives the next time someone wonders whether the timestamps matter. llm-review-rules.md already tells the review bot about the refresh target and the upstream reference. That file is the bot's instructions and it points contributors here, so this is where the requirement belongs. Signed-off-by: Josef Schlehofer <pepe@bloodkings.eu> |

OpenWrt packages feed
Description
This is the OpenWrt "packages"-feed containing community-maintained build scripts, options and patches for applications, modules and libraries used within OpenWrt.
Installation of pre-built packages is handled directly by the opkg utility within your running OpenWrt system or by using the OpenWrt SDK on a build system.
Usage
This repository is intended to be layered on-top of an OpenWrt buildroot. If you do not have an OpenWrt buildroot installed, see the documentation at: OpenWrt Buildroot – Installation on the OpenWrt support site.
This feed is enabled by default. To install all its package definitions, run:
./scripts/feeds update packages
./scripts/feeds install -a -p packages
