How to update Git clone when rebuilding

How to update Git clone when rebuilding

[Tino Breddin]

Hi,

I've noticed that bitbake won't update a Git checkout of an
application referenced through a recipe when running a follow-up build.

Is there some way to tell bitbake to check whether the remote Git
repository provides updates which should trigger a rebuild of the
application?

Cheers,
Tino

Tino,

SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"

You can read a little more about that in these two docs:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#ref-variables-glossary
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.3/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#platdev-appdev-srcrev

Kind regards,

Jerrod

Hi Jerrod,

That looks promising. Will try that once I can build again.

Thanks,
Tino
