Rebuilding the kernel each time a patch changes would really harm the kernel development workflow with OpenWrt, so I would rather stick with this even though this may be confusing. Rebuilding each and every single time a patch is touched could really make you waste WIP work in build_dir/target* -- Florian _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
