Hi Paul, thanks for your quick answer! I'll work with separate checkouts for now...
But now I've got another question: Is there any possibility to submit something like a feature request for this? And is there a (realistic) chance that this feature gets implemented? If so, where should this request go? To the bitbake-devel list? best regards, Richard > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Eggleton [mailto:paul.eggle...@linux.intel.com] > Sent: Monday, February 03, 2014 3:46 PM > To: Richard Leitner - SKIDATA > Cc: yocto@yoctoproject.org > Subject: Re: [yocto] SRCREV for BBLAYERS > > Hi Richard, > > On Monday 03 February 2014 12:17:04 Richard Leitner - SKIDATA wrote: > > I've a question regarding the BBLAYERS variable. > > Is it possible to set some kind of a SRCREV (=> git > > tag/branch/commit-id) for a path listed in BBLAYERS? > > > > I came to this question because I've two different branches in my meta > > layer: one for development and one for 'stable' releases.
