Hi ,

I have set up a git server for linux-yocto.

Following is my recipe  :
require linux-yocto.inc

KMACHINE = "yocto/standard/base"
KMACHINE_qemux86  = "yocto/standard/common-pc/base"
KMACHINE_qemux86-64  = "yocto/standard/common-pc-64/base"
KMACHINE_qemuppc  = "yocto/standard/qemu-ppc32"
KMACHINE_qemumips = "yocto/standard/mti-malta32-be"
KMACHINE_qemuarm  = "yocto/standard/arm-versatile-926ejs"
KMACHINE_atom-pc  = "yocto/standard/common-pc/atom-pc"
KMACHINE_routerstationpro = "yocto/standard/routerstationpro"
KMACHINE_mpc8315e-rdb = "yocto/standard/fsl-mpc8315e-rdb"
KMACHINE_beagleboard = "yocto/standard/beagleboard"
KMACHINE_fishriver = "yocto/standard/fishriver"

KBRANCH = ${KMACHINE}
KMETA = meta

LINUX_VERSION ?= "3.0"
LINUX_VERSION_EXTENSION ?= "-yocto-${LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE}"
PR = "r0"
#PV = "${LINUX_VERSION}+git${SRCPV}"
#SRCREV_FORMAT = "meta_machine"

SRC_URI =
"git://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/linux-yocto-3.0.git;protocol=git;nocheckout=1;branch=$%7BKBRANCH%7D,meta;name=machine,meta"

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE =
"(qemuarm|qemux86|qemuppc|qemumips|qemux86-64|mpc8315e-rdb|routerstationpro|beagleboard)"

# Functionality flags
KERNEL_REVISION_CHECKING ?= "t"
KERNEL_FEATURES="features/netfilter"
KERNEL_FEATURES_append_qemux86=" cfg/sound"
KERNEL_FEATURES_append_qemux86-64=" cfg/sound"

YOCTO_KERNEL_META_DATA=t

# Temporary fix for oprofile and latencytop on qemux86-64
KERNEL_FEATURES_append_qemux86-64=" features/profiling"
KERNEL_FEATURES_append_qemux86-64=" features/latencytop"

# extra tasks
addtask kernel_link_vmlinux after do_compile before do_install
addtask validate_branches before do_patch after do_kernel_checkout
addtask kernel_configcheck after do_configure before do_compile

require linux-tools.inc



But still I am getting the same result as before . My previous git commits
in poky source are flashed out , also the only recipe remains in
 meta/recipe-kernel/ is linux .


Regards
C Hoshing
