When I started working with Poky (quite some years ago), I added my code/recipes/... to the Poky GIT tree locally. This let me keep my parts up to date with the global repository fairly easily. I've tried to keep things such that my changes are separated from the Poky master changes. Now that the layering system is working well, and indeed I could move from pure Yocto/Poky to oe-core, I'd like to split my files away from the Poky tree I've been using. I'd also like to keep history, etc, for my code as I do this. Is there some way to purge Poky master from my local tree? In other words, remove all the Yocto/Poky files & directories, including any history/commits/etc that go along with them? I've experimented some with clone + filter-branch which does strip away the parts I don't want, but the history is cluttered with Poky mainline commits. In the end, I'd like to end up with just my files and the commits that created them. Thanks for any pointers or ideas -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
