From 2c41a28c9a9772531dcfc7079604ff2441c71f8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Ashfield Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 12:09:33 -0400 Subject: linux-yocto-custom: provide defconfig guidance 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.
