The latest version of my kernel is only fetched if I change my defconfig. Using bitbake virtual/kernel twice doesn't even go through srcrev_internal_helper(). 48737 1 alexandre.belloni 2015-02-11 20:33:28 +0000 Actually, the kernel class is not putting ${SRCPV} in PV. Doing that solved the issue. It may be good to update the documentation. 48824 2 srifenbark 2015-02-13 16:26:29 +0000 Hi, I was alerted to the fact that we need some documentation changes here for this issue. I have updated two variables in the glossary to try to explain this issue. You can see them at: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-AUTOREV http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-SRCREV Please look the changes over and let me know if they are okay. Thanks, Scott 48825 3 alexandre.belloni 2015-02-13 16:30:44 +0000 Hi, I'm not sure you should actually mention the kernel class at all, the comment about having PV containing SRCPV is valid for all recipes. 48826 4 srifenbark 2015-02-13 16:38:17 +0000 Hi, Based on feedback, see the links now. http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-AUTOREV http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-SRCREV thanks, Scott 48833 5 alexandre.belloni 2015-02-13 17:55:18 +0000 For AUTOREV, what about: If you use the previous statement to retrieve the latest version of software, you need to be sure PV contains ${SRCPV}. For example, suppose you have a kernel recipe that inherits the kernel class and you use the previous statement. In this example, ${SRCPV} does not automatically get into PV. Consequently, you need to change PV in your recipe so that it does contain ${SRCPV}. 48834 6 srifenbark 2015-02-13 18:04:31 +0000 Alexandre, I like your wording. I have taken it verbatim. You can re-check the link and see the update. Thanks, Scott 48835 7 alexandre.belloni 2015-02-13 18:09:50 +0000 I'm fine with that change (obviously !) 48947 8 srifenbark 2015-02-19 22:35:12 +0000 Hi, Unsure as to how to indicate the docs have been completed for this issue. The actual state has been set to RESOLVED/INVALID and I have the documentation flag set to "done." I guess this comment here basically acknowledges that the change was looked at and approved by Alexandre. I am done with it. Thanks, Scott
