I've never seen any directions say "first create a bare clone, then clone that again, then create local branches." It's a build system thing, what can I say ? When you are working with the raw tree, and your own cross compiler, that's absolutely the workflow. It's the same as having to write recipes versus Makefiles and python versus shell.

We are working a brand new organization for this, with the important information clearly and concisely stated as the first thing you see. I feel your pain on this.

I could tell the kernel configuration system is complicated, but I really didn't expect this many barriers. Absolutely. I'm glad to hear this. The first contact information let us down a bit. There IS complexity in the system, but for the easy straight forward, first patch sort of use case, it is supposed to be completely hidden and just work like any other package. I hate hearing about anyone have trouble, or things not working, and I've been knocking off things that break for over a year now. For example, someone else hit the bare clone (first time in over two years!), and I wrote a patch to fix that case .. but I failed to get it out in time to save you the same trouble :( Cheers, Bruce Hollis Blanchard Mentor Graphics, Embedded Systems Division ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto

[yocto] trouble using a local kernel repo
I'm trying to figure out how to use a cloned/modified copy of the linux-yocto-3.0 git repository. Here's what I did: * cloned linux-yocto-3.0.git and committed to the meta branch * specified my new repo: --- a/meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.0.bb +++ b/meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.0.bb @@ -18,12 +18,12 @@ SRCREV_machine_qemuppc ?= "15fd748017f0849138ff4b47d73f6866fa26cfe8" SRCREV_machine_qemux86 ?= "8f74a4339b3dc029fafff0ba7d88d6dc950d4b31" SRCREV_machine_qemux86-64 ?= "610c5a62daeda033755b0b7bfcb3e2cad5c76f3f" SRCREV_machine ?= "5df0b4c2538399aed543133b3855f809adf08ab8" -SRCREV_meta ?= "b78a519841bd8b477cad599af8d38df6760445c1" +SRCREV_meta ?= "7af8d6f8769335b79c1b76c8bded256b8f909c74" PR = "r3" PV = "${LINUX_VERSION}+git${SRCPV}" -SRC_URI = "git://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto-3.0;protocol=git;nocheckout=1;branch=${KBRANCH},meta +SRC_URI = "git:///mnt/linux-yocto-3.0.git;protocol=file;nocheckout=1;branch=${KBRANCH},meta;name=machi COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "(qemuarm|qemux86|qemuppc|qemumips|qemux86-64)" * bitbake -c clean virtual/kernel&& bitbake virtual/kernel What I get is this: ERROR: Function failed: do_validate_branches (see /mnt/poky.git/build/tmp/work/beagleboard-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-yocto-3.0.18+git2+7af8d6f8769335b79c1b76c8bded256b8f909c74_1+368e38c673ffac8b37fc2a2d4c1e4a1e6f8abf19-r3/temp/log.do_validate_branches.5342 for further information) There is no more information in that file. It contains only the exact message I already got on the console ("ERROR: Function failed ..."). What am I missing? http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/kernel-manual/kernel-manual.html was not helpful.
