It seems since commit 9242bea826a2bdc58915d4954343aee5165d9ad4 local recipes which try to patch files can not run any longer. The call to get_recipe_dir() always returns a path in the ctx.root_dir and that is wrong for local recipes.
I tried to revert that commit here locally and now the patching works again.
That's my mistake, sorry about that. I'll aim to push a fix soonish, although probably it's better to fix get_recipe_dir than to re-add the old behaviour.
Yes I'm also affected by this issue. What is you suggestion to fix get_recipe_dir() I'm willing to take a look because I'd like to submit my app to F-Droid.
