Hmm, that is a very good suggestion that I hadn't thought of. I guess the
only disadvantage is that PV doesn't get changed so you end up having to
keep track of which "recipe_1.0.0.rpm" is the test one and which is the
good version, but even that you could probably do:
SRCREV_pn-recipe1 = "${AUTOREV}"
PV_pn-recipe1 = "1.0.1+git${SRCPV}" # I'm not sure if this would actually
work?
My bbclass thing is a little easier if you have to do a bunch of those, but
maybe not worthwhile then.
Thanks!
