i just noticed, in the poky-extras layer,
kern-tools-native_git.bbappend, which describes itself as for local
kern-tools work.
is there a use case for this? oe-core already supplies
kern-tools-native, and that bbappend appears to simply let the
developer work with the head of kern-tools rather than a fixed SRCREV.
so is it just providing the ability to work with the dev source for
developers who want the bleeding edge?
Pretty much, it provides the ability to point at a local git tree, and
turns on
AUTOREV. Something that I always use, and something that anyone else
doing local work could use as well (not that they can't just create their
own
bbappend to do the same thing, but it doesn't hurt to have it sitting
there).
