Description Paul Eggleton 2014-08-24 17:19:07 UTC 
Extending the tool in bug 6653, add the ability to "edit" an existing recipe and point it an external source tree managed with git. This will need the ability to translate from a set of patch files in the recipe to commits in a git tree and vice-versa.
Comment 1 Paul Eggleton 2014-08-24 21:10:27 UTC 
This may obviate bug 6561.
Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2014-10-01 11:19:24 UTC 
And possibly bug 1652.
Comment 3 Alexandru Georgescu 2014-11-20 09:23:43 UTC 
To be discussed internally with Lucian and Costin.
Comment 4 Paul Eggleton 2014-12-26 12:28:41 UTC 
A new "devtool" utility with a "modify" command was added to master in the following commit (a number of earlier supporting commits are also required):

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=cd5ca4a11daff2089ba3031103b9b9dab5b3c94e

Some basic QA tests have been added in meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/devtool.py. Documentation is still pending.
Comment 5 Alexandru Georgescu 2015-03-19 10:17:30 UTC 
Verified with devtool selftest.
