Topic: how to patch a package's makefile

The content of this topic has been archived on 15 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi all,

I have a Makefile that needs to be patched. This Makefile belongs to the package named alljoyn.
The alljoyn package is part of a public feed

The compiling of the package attempts to download a public tarball which does not exist anymore and it fails. I know how to fix the Makefile but I can't contribute this upstream because I have not write access to the repo.

How can I patch the Makefile in the alljoyn package so that It will stay after a "feeds update -a" command?

The discussion might have continued from here.
