Subject: patman: locate README.rst via importlib
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/html/static/git-favicon.png?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a5197fc9c3329e3559e79dabb5acde9d0dd9e102;p=u-boot.git

patman: locate README.rst via importlib

Rationale: this is more robust than assumptions about the file
hierarchy layout of the installation of patman, for example on non
file-hierarchy standard (FHS) systems such as Guix System or Nix OS.
