Periodically it's a good - idea to check the repository of bitbake stable branches to see if a - new stable branch is available or if the current branch has been - revised. Compare your existing bitbake directory with the latest - bitbake branch in the repository. Your existing bitbake branch and - its 'last changed revision' number can be found as follows: - - <screen>$ cd $OEBASE/bitbake; svn info</screen> - - If there is a new stable branch, you will want to move or delete - your existing bitbake directory and repeat the process listed above - under "To obtain bitbake". If there is no new branch, it is easy to - update bitbake: - - <screen>$ cd $OEBASE/bitbake; svn update</screen> - </para> </section> </section> |
