Assuming buildhistory/ is a Git submodule, a simple way to verify this is running $ poky/scripts/buildhistory-diff <a revision from the submodule> , which gives a 'Specified git revision <rev> is not valid' error. On the other hand, $ poky/scripts/buildhistory-diff <a revision from the main repository> works, but doesn't print any useful info as the main repository is not a buildhistory repo. 60584 1 eduard.bartosh 2016-03-31 11:27:03 +0000 I can't reproduce this. Here is what I tried: 1. add buildhistory as a submodule: git submodule add file:///home/ed/git/yocto/poky/build/buildhistory bh 2. run buildhistory-diff for it: $ buildhistory-diff -p bh -a HEAD~6 images/qemux86_64/glibc/core-image-minimal: DISTRO_VERSION changed from "2.0+snapshot-20160330" to "2.0+snapshot-20160331" 3. run buildhistory-diff for build/buildhistory to compare the output: $ buildhistory-diff -a HEAD~6 images/qemux86_64/glibc/core-image-minimal: DISTRO_VERSION changed from "2.0+snapshot-20160330" to "2.0+snapshot-20160331" As you can see the output is the same in both cases. Please, provide details of your setup and instructions how to reproduce the issue. Thanks. 62328 2 eduard.bartosh 2016-05-19 15:02:17 +0000 Closing as worksforme.
