Description Paul Eggleton 2016-01-26 00:05:02 UTC 
It would be useful if it were possible to make changes to the kernel configuration through the extensible SDK, so that devtool build-image would build a kernel with the changes applied. (We may be able to re-use existing tools we have for this.)
Comment 1 Markus Lehtonen 2016-01-29 09:15:59 UTC 
Do you have any more detailed thoughts about this? Would e.g. menuconfig and automatic config fragment generation on devtool update-recipe be enough?
Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2016-01-29 09:24:59 UTC 
I think that sounds ideal. Certainly a good enough to satisfy this feature request at least.

Patch sent for review:
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2016-February/117709.html

After this patch, devtool now works on a single configuration fragment file, "devtool-fragment.cfg"
