Subject: Adding kernel patches using "git am"?
Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:35:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ED6070C.20904@emagii.com> (raw)

Is there a reason for using "patch" instead of "git am" on let's say the 
kernel.

If I want to do some modification, of the kernel, I can like Graeme 
description at
http://www.slimlogic.co.uk/2011/05/openembeddedangstrom-kernel-workflow/   
do
bitbake -c configure virtual/kernel

and then have an initialized git tree ready to be modified.

"git am" is of course more sensitive to the patch quality than "patch"
but that has some advantages as well.

It also makes the recipe more complex at this stage.
