Description Laszlo Papp 2013-07-25 06:49:13 UTC 
The current behavior is that you generated the crcs on the command line once running bitbake, but I wish to have an option or tool for actually updating the .bb recipe. I think it would be more convenient for me than manually copy/pasting.

We used to have such options on other distributions like Archlinux with makepkg back then.

There is a tool that is being worked on in the background that we will be releasing at somepoint in the future
Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2015-10-28 09:02:36 UTC 
With "devtool upgrade" now available in master / upcoming 2.0, I think we can finally call this one done, so I'm marking this as resolved.
