Description Bruce Ashfield 2014-11-07 21:37:51 UTC 
We can build modules on the target, but not the kernel itself.

The kernel source, tools and configuration should be available as part of the SDK and
as a standalone package.

When the SDK or this package is used, it should be possible to rebuild the running kernel
on the target itself.

Bruce, assigning to you and for M1 as I believe this is part of your pending patch set.
Comment 2 Bruce Ashfield 2014-11-27 16:07:27 UTC 
This is at risk for M1, due to the kernel build optimizations taking longer than expected.
I'll bump to M2 if it misses.
Comment 3 Bruce Ashfield 2015-01-20 16:08:23 UTC 
This is now in-tree, and works with the kernel-devsrc package.
