Re: Patch failures using crosstool

Dan...I was curious about the grep's watching the patching of the toolchain
sources in crosstool.

Is this by design so as to watch for failed patches and abort the
patch/build process?


yes.  The greps wouldn't be needed if patch were better about
returning nonzero status on failed patches.

If so I wonder if it is more desireable to skip the patch and continue
patching all that will apply to the sources or to bail out of the
patch/build process entirely.


I'm too paranoid for that.  If anything goes wrong, it's
totally unexpected, and who knows what will happen, so best abort.
I don't want anyone complaining that crosstool is flaky.
