No, not at all; I just wanted to let you know we are working on the issue.

Right, I know it's not as clear as it could be sometimes. At least for 
patches, FYI we did put some "where to send patches" information in the README 
file within the Poky repository. (We're certainly open to suggestions on making 
the process easier, be it from a documentation, tooling or process angle.)

So Robert is the dora branch maintainer and he's replied separately; it should 
be fairly quick now that he's aware of it.

No problem - in this particular instance with x264 it was a bit of an 
unfortunate trifecta where the upstream project does not provide release 
tarballs so we build directly from their git repository; they recently decided 
to rewrite their git history without telling anyone, and we didn't notice 
immediately because we don't build it on our autobuilder regularly (since it 
has LICENSE_FLAGS set). Even when we did know about it though, it's fair to 
say we have been a little slow to correct for it; hopefully we can get this 
patch in soon and then it'll be taken care of, at least for the x264 recipes 
in master, daisy and dora.

Cheers,
Paul
