linux-yocto-custom: clarify bbappend versus copy in comments

2015-05-22T12:34:29+00:00

The kernel development manual recommends making a copy of
linux-yocto-custom, while the comments in the recipe talk about
bbappends.

To synchronize the two, we remove the bbappend references from the
recipe and instead indicate that a copy should be updated.

skeleton: clarify linux-yocto-custom workflow

2015-03-24T22:51:07+00:00

It was pointed out that the kernel development documentation recommends
making a copy of linux-yocto-custom, while the comments in the recipe
itself suggest a bbappend.

To keep things consistent between these two sources, we update the
comment in the recipe itself to also recommend a copy (and rename).

linux-yocto-custom: provide defconfig guidance

2014-05-06T16:59:07+00:00

As reported by Andrea, defconfigs created with savedefconfig should specify
their expansion mode as "--alldefconfig' for custom yocto recipes. To ensure
that this is documented, we can add a comment in the skeleton recipe.

meta-skeleton: Add name attribute to SRC_URI

2014-03-27T09:39:37+00:00

The SRCREV_machine line does not work without having name=machine
attribute in SRC_URI.

This error is seen if the custom kernel recipe is used without
the name attribute:

NOTE: Error during finalise of .../linux-yocto-custom.bb

linux-yocto-custom: Use SRCREV_machine

2014-03-17T14:01:06+00:00

The Yocto kernel tools look for SRCREV_machine in do_validate_branches,
if it's empty, it just returns and silently continues. This likely needs
at least a warning. However, this recipe should be using SRCREV_machine,
and not just SRCREV.

linux-yocto-custom: Clarify defconfig usage

2012-10-03T09:03:04+00:00

It is necessary to supply file://defconfig to the SRC_URI when using
a defconfig (it is not implicitly understood as the commentary might
currently suggest).

linux-yocto-custom: Clarify usage and clear COMPATIBLE_MACHINE

2012-08-07T11:56:29+00:00

There has been some confusion over proper use of the linux-yocto-custom
recipe. It is not intended to build as is from meta-skeleton. It should
be modified via a bbappend file to provide a Linux kernel config at the
very least.

Update the commentary to make this requirement more explicit. Add some
additional detail about how to create a bbappend file and how and when
to modify the various variables.

Clear COMPATIBLE_MACHINE so bitbake will not attempt to build the recipe
unless the user explicitly adds there machine to the variable, which
should encourage them to read the recipe comments before attempting to
build it.

linux-yocto-custom: Remove linux-tools

2012-07-03T07:05:29+00:00

Remove the linux-tools include as perf is now packaged independently.
Without this, including meta-skeleton in bblayers.conf results in a
build failure as linux-tools.inc cannot be found.
