The procedure is described above
more explicit:
something like
grep -"file://.*patch" in recipes/*/* > file1
find recipes | grep patch >file2

in the editor change both file1 and file2 to whack off things like
;apply=yes and a few more things in file1, also discard the file://
section and unify whitespace file layout of both file1 and file2
becomes as listed above.
then run diff file1 file2
visually examine the differences (especially for things like
file://x-${PV}.patch which of course do not match
then anything that appears in file2 and not in file1 is what is in the
list above

I thought I made a mistake in the script, but after verification I have not.
The recipes you mention have been removed a few days ago
http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=e5287904a9dddc8ddc0f486d8526bc8cfda427b7

It there any particular reason why you want to have both the 1.8 and
1.9 versions in the archive?
If so, we should revert the commit above (and then of course the patch
file itself should not be removed either.
