Description Paul Eggleton 2014-12-05 15:23:44 UTC
Since the split of the git-perltools package out of git which happened in the 1.6 timeframe, some git tools (such as "git am", "git send-email" and "git-submodule") are no longer included in buildtools or the build appliance. This package needs to be added in both of those places.
Comment 1 Paul Eggleton 2014-12-05 15:33:24 UTC
Scratch the build appliance, that was already fixed in master by Jackie in the following commit:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=b0bbdf29a1fea4ced697d216f298bb606af559d2

That probably ought to be backported as well though.
Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2014-12-26 11:40:52 UTC
Fix was merged to master:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=a957ff1dc4d084f4b7868359a508241f4af480f4

We now just need the backport to 1.7 of this and Jackie's fix linked above.
