No, the default directory for patch application is $S (for obvious reasons). You can change the path that is patched by using the `patchdir` parameter: https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-SRC_URI Also as Gabriele said, only .patch and .diff files are applied automatically. Best to rename to inputrc.patch. > Using devshell, I have confirmed that the “patch” program being executed is > the one from the Yocto environment ($BUILDDIR/tmp-glibc/hosttools), not the > build host. Have a look at what hosttools/patch actually is: you'll see it's just a symlink to /usr/bin/patch.
