URL: https://www.yoctoproject.org/blogs/khem/2013/get-smart-smart-package-manager I find this wording a bit unclear: "This should not set the channel for updates." I'm a bit unsure what it means, maybe it's just a small typo? The following makes more sense to me: "This should now set the channel for updates."
I checked with Khem and he agrees this was a typo, so I fixed it on the blog post. Thanks for the bug, I hadn't noticed that!
Checked on: https://www.yoctoproject.org/blogs/khem/2013/get-smart-smart-package-manager The typo has been adressed.
