Hi ,
We have a linux release base on yocto, and we want to use yocto-kernel-tools to manage kernel configuration fragments, instead of the old method. So we want to know, when poky will use yocto-kernel-tools to manage the kernel ? Is there a plan?

Thanks!

Rick

I'm not sure I follow the question. Since yocto 1.0 the kern-tools have
been used
to manage the kernel, they've been changing over time, but the foundation
and
theory is the same.

If you want to manage a custom kernel, have a look in meta-skeleton for
linux-yocto-custom.bb and you can apply fragments to any upstream git tree
of your choosing. It would of course be better if we get more contributions
to the
main linux-yocto meta data (yocto-kernel-cache and the linux-yocto meta
branch), but
that's completely voluntary.

Cheers,

Bruce

If you need some documentation on this please let us know, we have some
early docs going through some active development we can point you at if
interested.
