Please follow guidelines from: https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded to know how to contribute in a way that is matching OE patch management. Your mail content should probably be the content of the commit log. Your mail should directly be the output of git format-patch (send it with git send-email), the patch shouldn't be attached to the mail but rather "be" the mail. On the content of the patch, it'd be nice to take the patch with the authors, commit title and log from the original place where you took it from. It probably is: https://sources.debian.org/patches/ppp/2.4.6-3.1/ppp-2.4.2-ifname.diff/ ? No author, no commit log :/ Though, I could find https://sources.debian.org/patches/ppp/2.4.6-3.1/ppp-2.4.2-ifname.diff/ which is slightly different and the changelog seems decent between Suse's and debian's patch. Thanks, Quentin
