Hi,
I'm in the process of evaluating OpenEmbedded for our project here and have a question. For some packages, we would like to be able to 'checkout' the latest sources directly into the working dir (instead of the typical normal unpacking phase of untaring the file). This would be a simpler working model or our engineers where they can directly make changes, build, and commit all from one place. In Looking through the bitbake/OE sources, I don't see any builtin infrastructure for that now.
I know I can easily just redefine do_checkout() and do_unpack() for my specific packages and perform the checkouts there, but I was wondering if there are any better ways of doing it? We are using git for our repository and i'm thinking of letting the do_checkout() run as normal, but redefine do_unpack so that it runs git-new-workdir from the fetched/cloned repo into the working dir.
My question is has anyone done this for their projects and if so, any insight?
