+LIBFOO_SITE+. If +HOST_LIBFOO_PATCH+ is not specified, it defaults
to +LIBFOO_PATCH+. Note that patches that are included in Buildroot
itself use a different mechanism: all files of the form
- +<packagename>-*.patch+ present in the package directory inside
+ +*.patch+ present in the package directory inside
Buildroot will be applied to the package after extraction (see
xref:patch-policy[patching a package]). Finally, patches listed in
the +LIBFOO_PATCH+ variable are applied _before_ the patches stored
* If a +series+ file exists in the package directory, then patches are
applied according to the +series+ file;
+
-* Otherwise, patch files matching +<packagename>-*.patch+
- are applied in alphabetical order.
- So, to ensure they are applied in the right order, it is highly
- recommended to name the patch files like this:
- +<packagename>-<number>-<description>.patch+, where +<number>+
- refers to the 'apply order'.
