Re: [poky] apply a patch to a complete meta-xxx - before using it (in kas)?

That is something I can do, sure. Thanks for hint, Alex.
But in fact it's the other way around, the repo I refer to is newer, and
I need that in an older Yocto3.0 build.
So just in case someone knows how this works. But yes - forking a layer
is possible too, but far massive than apply a slim patch.
