Pre-conditions: I'm working on the recipe initramfs-framework, I want to modify 2 of the files shipped, so that I can produce a patch, to use in a separate layer, through a bbappend. I'm using the mater from poky. Steps to trigger the problem: 0) prepare the build directory 1) from the build directory execute: devtool modify initramfs-framework 2) modify the files in the copy of the recipe, which is replicated by devtool in: /home/igor/dev/poky/build/workspace/sources/initramfs-framework vim /home/igor/dev/poky/build/workspace/sources/initramfs-framework/oe-local-files/rootfs vim /home/igor/dev/poky/build/workspace/sources/initramfs-framework/oe-local-files/init 3) test the changes 4) try to generate the patch: devtool finish initramfs-framework meta or devtool finish initramfs-framework meta-ostree outcome: File "/home/igor/dev/poky/scripts/devtool", line 344, in <module> ret = main() File "/home/igor/dev/poky/scripts/devtool", line 331, in main ret = args.func(args, config, basepath, workspace) File "/home/igor/dev/poky/scripts/lib/devtool/standard.py", line 1537, in finish _update_recipe(args.recipename, workspace, rd, args.mode, appendlayerdir, wildcard_version=True, no_remove=False, initial_rev=args.initial_rev) File "/home/igor/dev/poky/scripts/lib/devtool/standard.py", line 1332, in _update_recipe updated = _update_recipe_patch(recipename, workspace, srctree, rd, appendlayerdir, wildcard_version, no_remove, initial_rev) File "/home/igor/dev/poky/scripts/lib/devtool/standard.py", line 1209, in _update_recipe_patch upd_f, new_f, del_f = _export_local_files(srctree, rd, local_files_dir) File "/home/igor/dev/poky/scripts/lib/devtool/standard.py", line 1029, in _export_local_files git_files = _git_ls_tree(srctree) File "/home/igor/dev/poky/scripts/lib/devtool/standard.py", line 334, in _git_ls_tree for line in out.split('\0'): TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface
