This directory is for placing custom packages that can be kept separate from an upstream op-build. The purpose of this is to make pulling in upstream op-build updates much easier, since your customizations will not touch any files also modified by op-build changes. openpower/custom/configs # For machine configs (*_defconfig files) /package # For additional packages. /patches # For patching existing packages. It is recommended that the layout of the custom/configs and custom/package directories follow the layout of the openpower/ peers. The openpower/custom/patches directory should have subdirectories for each package desired to be patched and patch files contained inside. For example to add a patch to skiboot you would create: openpower/custom/patches/skiboot/skiboot-0001-example.patch
