[oe] Patching from a file containing a compressed directory (<directory>.tar.bz2)

[Ulf Samuelsson]

     Trying to change the at91 linux recipes.
     The "experimental" patches to be added on top of the "maxim" patch
     can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.at91.com/ and that file
     is generated from a directory of patches, which should be applied
     in alphabetical order.

     When the "obvious" SRC_URI  is used:

     ftp://ftp.at91.com/<directory>.tar.bz2;apply=yes \

      the files do not get applied in alphabetical order.

     It looks to me like they get applied in reverse order,  but I did 
not check carefully.
     I tried adding a "series" file, and recompress, but that failed as 
well.

     Any clue on how to get the patches applied in alphabetical order?

     If the patches are in a subdirectory to the recipe, and applied 
manually
     everything is OK, but that seems to be a shame to have to resort to 
that.
