[Buildroot] Kernel and Uboot

[Buildroot] Kernel and Uboot

[Naitik Amin]

Hi there,

I am looking to submit my extracted kernel and uboot into my source 
control. Is there a config option in BR that I can use to point to a 
folder that contains the kernel and uboot ? I am constantly changing 
kernel and everytime, I do that I have to unzip, make changes and zip. 
Also its hard to track the changes.

Thanks,

  Take a look at LINUX_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR. It's not currently documented in 
the buildroot manual, but you can read the help text of the "location of 
a package override file" in the "Build options" menu.

A package override file is a short makefile that contains variable 
definitions of the form <pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR, which allows to tell 
Buildroot to use an existing directory as the source directory for a 
particular package. See the Buildroot documentation for more details on 
this feature.
