However.... It is still not clear to me how to use this though.
What I did was start a devshell for virtual/kernel. Within the devshell guilt is in the path, but still it does not work (I also tried invoking guilt with the full path). >From my devshell window: frans@frans-desktop:~/poky-denzil-7.0-build/tmp/work/syrcxx-poky-linux-uclibc/linux-yocto-3.2.11+git1+b14a08f5c7b469a5077c10942f4e1aec171faa9d_1+01e948c2bdf7f5ad9f2b30047a8d3493a1a2880a-r1.23/linux$ which guilt /home/frans/poky-denzil-7.0-build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/guilt frans@frans-desktop:~/poky-denzil-7.0-build/tmp/work/syrcxx-poky-linux-uclibc/linux-yocto-3.2.11+git1+b14a08f5c7b469a5077c10942f4e1aec171faa9d_1+01e948c2bdf7f5ad9f2b30047a8d3493a1a2880a-r1.23/linux$ /home/frans/poky-denzil-7.0-build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/guilt status Patches directory doesn't exist, try guilt-init This is with the standard denzil 7.0 release. I've also been to the meta/patches dir and tried guilt status in there but to no avail. (or should I have manually made a symlink or so Not sure what I am doing wrong. Is there a small example or some doc on how to do this? or can someone give a few commands that would show how to modify an existing patch (or create a new one) with patch? (btw noticed that the patches are also in .git/refs/patches/... however the guilt doc says: In Guilt, all the patches are stored in .git/patches/$branch/, where $branch ... Also tried to add a symlink from .git/patches to .git/refs/patches but that did not help either. Thanks for any suggestion!
