Working with a git'ed kernel on the server

Working with a git'ed kernel on the server

[Andy Ng]

Hello list,

I have a git'ed kernel on a server. When I do make "push" changes to the kernel
and then I try bitbake core-image-minimal on my local host, the build
process does not pick up the
changes from the server. I just do bitbake virtual/kernel -c cleanall
to force it to get my latest kernel from the server.

Is there any way to make the recipe to sync to the server every time i
make a build?

Best regards,
Andy

Set your SRCREV to ${AUTOREV}, and you'll get what you want.

Thank you,

I've just noticed my bb file has:

SRCREV_pn-${PN} = "${AUTOREV}"

So it should be ok?

That should be all you need.

If this line is in a recipe you can remove the _pn-${PN} as well as that won't 
be achieving anything.

Cheers,

Well, that is, unless somewhere else you have a SRCREV_pn-<PN> = line.

Agreed. Thanks for the clarification Paul!
