Changing SRCREV in amend.inc doesn't work

Changing SRCREV in amend.inc doesn't work

[vaxon]

Hi
I'm having problems amending uclibc recipe. I've included INHERIT += 
"amend" to my distro config and created amend.inc in 
recipes/uclibc/uclibc-git/ for the uclibc_git.bb recipe, that's supposed 
to set new SRCREV.

The amend.inc is included now and bitbake -e uclibc shows the amended 
SRCREV, however do_fetch task still uses the old one. Also SRCPV uses 
the old SRCREV value too.

I can successfully change SRC_URI in my amend.inc file, but changing 
SRCREV doesn't work for me. I'm using the latest oe git (

Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Val.

Here's some additional info:

openembedded commit: 16a8a1e9175035b55d91a141d5302c38d63c16f1

$ bitbake --version
BitBake Build Tool Core version 1.12.0, bitbake version 1.12.0

$ cat /home/vaxon/git/openembedded/recipes/uclibc/uclibc-git/amend.inc
SRCREV = "2fa7315f3456d13512e9a65848c4f0874fce9c5b"

The bitbake -e uclibc shows the following:
# SRCREV=2fa7315f3456d13512e9a65848c4f0874fce9c5b
SRCREV="2fa7315f3456d13512e9a65848c4f0874fce9c5b"
# SRCPV=${@bb.fetch.get_srcrev(d)}
SRCPV="0+71d63ed75648da9b0b71afabb9c60aaad792c55c"

PR="r35.10+gitr0+71d63ed75648da9b0b71afabb9c60aaad792c55c"

Also bitbake -D -c fetch uclibc uses the old SRCREV value
(71d63ed75648da9b0b71afabb9c60aaad792c55c) too:

Changing SRCREV in amend.inc doesn't work

bump

Could anybody help here?
Did I miss anything or is there a problem amending uclibc SRCREV?

Even though bitbake -e uclibc shows the amended SRCREV,
SRCPV is set using the old value, and do_fetch task uses the old
SRVREV as well.

TIA,
Val.
