Michael Robinson reacted to IBV in armbian-build, dts patch, can't find file to patch at input line 9...
Hi,
your patch fails because the file rk3399-orangepi-4-lts.dts does not exist in the mainline kernel(s) you tried to build.
Maybe previously you appplied it against the vendor kernel?

Dear Armbians, welcome to this week’s newsletter! Here, you’ll find updates on the latest release and community contributions.
New Additions and Improvements
1. TQMa Configuration Update
Enabled SQUASHFS_XZ: This feature uses XZ compression to optimize storage, which is particularly useful for systems where space is limited. XFCE AccountsService Support: XFCE now includes user profile management, enhancing usability and personalization for those using this desktop environment. 2. Rockchip64-6.11 Kernel Enhancements
WiFi/BT Patch for Orange Pi 3B v1.1: The UWE5622 WiFi and Bluetooth are now supported on Orange Pi 3B v1.1, offering more connectivity options. Kernel Patch Rewrite: This update brings increased stability to Rockchip devices through a refined patching approach. Documentation and Linux Rockchip Updates
Our Armbian Documentation has been updated with a focus on clarity and accessibility. These refinements are aimed at providing smoother setup experiences for both new and advanced users, making Armbian more user-friendly.
Additionally, recent changes in the Armbian Linux Rockchip repository bring improved compatibility and performance optimizations for Rockchip-based boards. Updates include kernel refinements, enhanced driver support, and stability improvements for a better user experience on Rockchip hardware.
Armbian Config: The Next Geneneration Bash Configuration API
Armbian Config Next generation with API capabilities offers versatile configuration management with JSON, TUI, CLI, and API support. This feature simplifies system setup, network configuration, and software installation, making deployment across environments more flexible. Armbian Config Next generation is especially beneficial for larger-scale configurations, enhancing automation support. Check it out on GitHub.
Italian Mirror for Armbian Hosted by Atomo Networks
Thanks to Atomo Networks, we now have a new, low-power Armbian mirror based in Italy. This addition enhances access speeds and availability for south European users, providing a more sustainable and reliable download experience for community members. This is part of Armbian’s commitment to building a strong global support network.
Workflow Automation and Pull Request Improvements
To streamline development, Armbian has implemented several updates:
Refined PR Labeling: Labels are now applied to opened, reopened, and synchronized PRs, making it easier to track status quickly. Automated Status Sync: Board configuration statuses are now synchronized automatically. Approval Workflow: Approved PRs get a “Ready to Merge” label, while new PRs are tagged “Need Review” for prioritized handling. The maintainer function has been centralized in the main build repository, simplifying management. Join the Armbian Community
Armbian thrives on community involvement. Your contributions are crucial to sustaining this vibrant ecosystem. Whether you’re an experienced developer or just getting started, there’s always a way to contribute.
