For the repo manifest file (default.xml), can you use tag names (e.g.,
yocto-1.6) when possible instead of the SHA for your revision attribute inside

would save some time of having to do a reverse lookup for each revision attribute
(commit) and make the > manifest more friendly.
And how would I figure out why you chose a particular commit that wasn't
otherwise notable / tagged
(e.g., you're not using the 1.6 tag in meta-fsl-arm)?
I looked through the commits in fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git, but I didn't find
anything to help me with this.
When we do code freeze for a release we lock our manifest to specific commit on
all layers - many times it is a mid point on the branches past the release. So
unfortunately we can't use a tag or branch name in the manifest. After we
release we go back to the tip and use that for development so our beta release
will have more fixes from community from daisy branch. We always release based
on latest official Yocto Project release so 3.10.31 is based off of daisy but
will be upstreamed to be part of Yocto Project 1.7.
Thanks for the reply Lauren. I see that you point to the poky revision
that is indeed at the yocto-1.6 tag, but the meta-fsl-arm revision is
not at the 1.6 tag. Other than combing through the mail lists, is there
anything documented that would help me understand why you picked this
particular commit for your release? (the answer is probably obvious to
those that aren't playing catch up like me).
Lastly, I'm not able to clone fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git. When I run:
git clone git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git
The manifest is only meant for repo init - not for git cloning.
If you can, you might want to remove the git clone instructions at the
bottom of the page:
http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git/?h=imx-3.10.31-1.1.0_alpha
It is a just a basic repo so that we don't have to package our manifest
in a release package as we did for earlier releases with i.MX with Yocto
Project.
