Thanks for that and I understand your workflow.  I’ve a similar thing when I play with dnsmasq updates :-)

As a pedantic note, please check your quiltrc settings as per https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/use-patches-with-buildsystem ‘cos the ‘refresh,update’ output you attached still contains index info which is usually stripped.

Thanks for all your work on openssl - I don’t understand it but know it’s important :-)
