I have a bbappend openssh_%.bbappend which has some lines
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SRC_URI += "\
file://custom-ssh/my-special-dir/usr/bin/ssh-custom-bin \
"
This addition to the SRC_URI variable causes path rejects inexplicabley. If I remove the SRC_URI addition, then I don't have to manually choose patches when I build my project.
Why is this happening?
Update:
It actually was't the SRC_URI addition. It was another line that read
S="${WORKDIR}"
I've changed the title of the question to reflect this. I'm still curious why this happens.
S=WORKDIR changes the location of the sources to where the sources are not, so you'll get patch failures because they can't be applied.
