ah, that was a detail of which i was unaware -- that "apply=yes" was
meant for applying patches of any arbitrary filename. of course, that
suggests that there are some superfluous uses here and there in
oe-core, such as:
recipes-graphics/xorg-proto/calibrateproto_git.bb:
file://fix.patch;apply=yes"
recipes-graphics/libxsettings-client/libxsettings-client_0.10.bb:
file://link-x11.patch;apply=yes \
recipes-sato/leafpad/leafpad_0.8.18.1.bb:SRC_URI_append_poky = "
file://owl-menu.patch;apply=yes "
recipes-sato/settings-daemon/settings-daemon_git.bb:
file://addsoundkeys.patch;apply=yes \
no harm, just unnecessary.
