couple questions about kernel-dev manual, section 2.6, "emenlow" branch
Robert P. J. Day
still working my way through the kernel-dev manual, and a couple
oddities in section 2.6. first, the example given uses the (alleged) standard/emenlow branch, which i'm pretty sure doesn't exist anymore, yes? if one is going to use an example, i suggest one base that example on one of the YP reference BSPs that's guaranteed to always exist, such as beagleboard or arm-versatile-926ejs. next, i'm assuming that one would be running those "git whatchanged" commands in the project directory, under tmp/work-shared/<target>/kernel-source, yes? it's just not made clear in that section where a reader would be doing those things. finally, section 2.6.1 reads: "Here is an example that looks at what has changed in the emenlow branch of the linux-yocto-3.19 kernel." what does the kernel version of 3.19 have to do with those git commands? how do those commands depend on the particular version of the linux-yocto recipe you're using? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
