To the bitbake-devel list? I am not sure If I got your point. If you intend to handle different versions of layers you are using you may can use the setup-scripts from Angstrom They do use an "layer manager" https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/setup-scripts https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/setup-scripts/blob/master/sources/layers.txt
Which fetches the configured layers with the defined branch and commit ID. regards, Christian > > 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.
