Hi Juergen,

Thank you for prompt response.

I want to apply the patch to the existing package without extracting it
from archive file.
So that I can avoid building package from start.

For example take kernel, if I change something and want to add this to
final build, it has to be compiled from start if it needs extract to apply
the patch.

I have referred section 4.2.5, but unfortunately I did not get what I am
looking for.

Please help me in this regard.

Thanks & Regards.
Prabhakar.
