Can you tell me which file in which folder changed?
Plus I suggest to use
 https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt
which is mostly the same content but should lower the load on the
"origin" servers.

I see. You should be able to verify the uncompressed patch against a gpg
key. However I guess this is not how OpenEmbedded works.

So if you tell me which file changed I will ask around and let you know.
