"devtool upgrade" is designed specifically to handle the upgrade case and tries to rebase the old patches onto the new version, putting you into resolution mode with "git am" if it fails to apply a patch. I appreciate that you may now be working through sorting out all of the patches to reduce the fuzziness when applying, and that won't help in that scenario, but it would definitely be worth considering for upgrades.
Fair enough, although I was not aware of this feature of devtool until now, despite being a major contributor of package upgrades to oe-core :) We have had a miscommunication issue, it seems.
I'm open to implementing better support for handling patch application failure for devtool modify - in fact there is a bug open for just that: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8325
THanks, I just wrote a comment there, and made the patch fuzz bug depend on this one :)
