From 4741b90b170bc96e3a24f9c1dce871af060bc4d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:21:05 +0000 Subject: lib/oe/patch: Use force option when creating symlinks to patches Under the scenario where you have an existing source tree and you then change one of the patches, maybe to be architecture or machine specific, then rebuild, the build will fail since the symlink already exists but should now point at a different file. The easiest fix is to tell the system to remove and recreate the link which is done with the force option.
