Description Joshua Watt 2018-11-19 22:34:51 UTC 
When trying to use devtool to do automatic recipe upgrades for a recipe with "nativesdk-" in the actual recipe file name (e.g. nativesdk-mingw-w64-runtime from meta-mingw), I noticed that the output recipe that devtool writes doens't preserve the "nativesdk-" prefix in the recipe it generates. For example:

 /projects/poky/build $ devtool upgrade nativesdk-mingw-w64-runtime
 NOTE: Starting bitbake server...
 <SNIP>
 NOTE: Upgraded source extracted to /projects/poky/build/workspace/sources/nativesdk-mingw-w64-runtime
 NOTE: New recipe is /projects/poky/build/workspace/recipes/mingw-w64-runtime/mingw-w64-runtime_6.0.0.bb
 /projects/poky/build $

Note that the output file name "mingw-w64-runtime" doens't match the original recipe name "nativesdk-mingw-w64-runtime".

This also confuses devtool, since the recipe name doesn't match the expected name.
