Description Darren Hart 2013-03-18 16:00:59 UTC
Need to document how to add kernel-features that are not necessarily included in the kernel config unless explicitly requested in the KERNEL_FEATURES variable.

Pulled from an email thread on the subject, the syntax currently looks something like:

  SRC_URI += "file://feat-defaults-qemux86-standard.scc \
               file://feat-defaults-qemux86-user-config.cfg \
               file://feat-defaults-qemux86-user-patches.scc \
               file://cfg/sched-tracer.scc;stage-only=1 \
               file://features/yocto-testmod.scc \
              "

This is still pending, updates will be sent shortly.
Comment 2 Bruce Ashfield 2013-10-09 00:29:34 UTC
The implementation of this changed, and didn't make 1.5, so moving to 1.6.
Comment 3 Bruce Ashfield 2014-05-21 14:58:54 UTC
Moving this to 1.7, since we'll be doing this as part of "developer experience"

Hi Bruce, 

Any progress on this?  I would like to see about what documentation changes would be needed.

Thanks, 
Scott

Still the same. but I will try and get you something on this, I just have to get 
a few other runtime bugs fixes.

Thanks for poking the bug so it returns to my memory!

Hi, 

See the new section http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/kernel-dev/kernel-dev.html#adding-recipe-space-kernel-features, which talks about adding kernel features.  I need this reviewed.  Let me know what changes or corrections are necessary.

Thanks,
Scott

reviewed. This also looks good to me. I only noticed some minor phrasing quirks as I went through, but I'm no editor (or language scholar), so I won't pick them out :)

Thanks... I did a quick read-through and fixed what you might have considered quirky.  Although, I really don't know what you consider to be "quirky"... I thought I found some things.  

You might give it a quick read and make sure I did not destroy any meaning, which can happen any time you mess around with text. 

Thanks, 
Scott

Looks good to me. I consider this one resolved now.

Thanks... I put the doc flag to "done".
