echo PATCHTOOL_pn-linux = "git" >> conf/local.conf # (note, uses git-apply, not git-am, but it's a step in the direction you want, anyway, and by inspecting patch.bbclass and lib/oe/patch.py and looking for that patch tool, you can see how you'd go about adding one for git-am if you desired it) -- Christopher Larson clarson at kergoth dot com Founder - BitBake, OpenEmbedded, OpenZaurus Maintainer - Tslib Senior Software Engineer, Mentor Graphics _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
