If no patch is available for a specific package it doesn't mean
that is necessarily an error, perhaps there is no need to apply
any patches. Therefore, don't stop the build by returning '1',
but go ahead.

  This is in fact intentional, because it indicates that there is 
something wrong with the configuration. When you specify in your 
configuration that some specific patch directory should be used, but that 
directory doesn't exist, then it probably means you made a mistake in 
your configuration.

  Can you give an example of a specific situation where you had a problem 
with this check?

  Regards,
  Arnout

this happens when for example you want to get as cross compiler
the daily snapshot instead of a specific version.

The build stops with an error because of that 'exit 1' since it
doesn't find any gcc-20131105 patch directory (i think the
snapshot is called so).

  That's a bug in the gcc package then :-)

  It should actually be converted to using the default patch strategy 
instead of post-patch hooks. Let me look into it...

Good luck. The gcc package is special: there is only one location for
the gcc patches (i.e package/gcc/<version>/), but there are in fact
three gcc packages (package/gcc/gcc-{initial,intermediate,final}).

I'm impatient to see what your solution will be :-)
