Hi,

currently I am in the "Middle Of The Road" of
migrating from 3.8.x to 3.14.x.

Currently the kernel is building natively
on my bbb. This take time...

The first start, the call to build_kernel.sh freezes 
my bbb deadly while git cloning the base kernel sources.
I had to cut power, put the sdcard in to my PC, fsck the
whole thing and then rebuild.sh there until the point,
the kernel configuration tool came up.

I Ctrl-C that, put back the sdcard into the bbb and
do a ./tools/rebuild.sh there, which does the trick.

Now I have a dilemma:
I have no clue which events/circumstances will urge me
to use build_kernel.sh instead of ./tools/rebuild.sh.

For updateing I am using this script in the "bb-kernel"
directory:

    #! /bin/zsh
    git checkout master -f
    git branch -D tmp
    git pull
    git checkout origin/am33x-v3.14 -b tmp

>From my understanding each change to a file has to
trigger a recompilation of the file by make and this
is true for all files of the build process as far as
I know.

On the other hand... ;)



For what events/circumstances is it highly recommended 
to use build_kernel.sh and are there tricks or workflows
how I can minimize these?


Is it possible to update the base kernel sources in a way,
which makes it "tools/rebuild.sh"-friendly?



Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,
mcc
