This is a good point. In looking at the example it does not say what branch you should be dealing with for poky-extras.

i thought that was the technique for centralizing personal config preferences that you *didn't* want to manually copy into every local.conf file you created. if you add that personal content

Aha. In this case, we could note that the poky-extras repo branch should match the main repository branch .. and I could ensure that meta-kernel-dev works in that configuration. That's likely the

Just looking at that page, a couple of items spring to mind: 1) Why are you pointing people to the prefile/postfile options in preference to just putting the "common, personal configuration" in

I was using Denzil because the snapshot noted in the example does not exist. So there is another doc issue. I can always test on Master, but the docs need to be update to reflect something that will

This one is actually fixed on master, but poky-extras .. is just that 'extra', so this may still be alive in that repo. This wouldn't need to be documented, since it's a bug/issue, and not something

I think some text needs to be added. I uncommented the SRC_URI line and I still fail building the image. The failure is related to kernel tools: ERROR: kern-tools-native: md5 data is not matching

It's worth noting, and I can make sure that the comments in the recipes reflect this as well. My comments within the individual bbappends may not be noticed, or may be less obvious when you look at

Great! Thanks Robert.

i was about to make that very point. :-) rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P. J. Day Ottawa, Ontario,

Is "technical FAQ" == "How-Do-I pages" ? -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Linux Kernel

they should be documented I agree. meta-toolchain-gmae and meta-toolchain-sdk are synonymous.

since the ubiquitous reaction to complaining about something is always, "don't just whine, do something about it," i'm doing that. i've started a personal yocto FAQ, based on questions either

nice! and no problem at all. Cheers, Bruce

Bruce, Should the example note this? Would it be best to specifically say to uncomment that SRC_URI line? Scott

It should be uncommented. I commented them by default, since the extras repository is a bit of a collection ground. If they are uncommented, and combined with the AUTOREV also set in the file, you are

In the example in The Developement Manual v1.2 in Appendix B Section B.1.7, it states that you need to put in the statement: KSRC_linux_yocto_3_2 ?= "/home/scottrif/linux-yocto-3.2.git"

Thanks all - I enjoyed the rant. The obvious point is that the FAQ needs attention. A good thing to do would be if you have a question that you would like included in a "good" FAQ, such as the one
