under the poky directory you git checkout of the branch you want to work with, then you clone meta-intel and within that directory you checkout a branch. if you needed to use git for you personal project, you can't put it at the same meta-intel level, right? Only one per directory??? I would guess that you'd need to create your personal git clone below meta-intel; something like meta-jima.

Does this sound correct??

Hi Jim,

This is indeed how I manage my extra package files and anything else poky needs. Any other interesting input would be good to hear though!

Slightly off-topic, with meta-intel and then checking out branches to get specific machines, do you do global work in master, machine specific work in the branches, and then merge out from master to the branches to keep them all in sync?

Cheers,
Jack.

At this point, I'm sticking to named releases like Edison. I have not

tried Master yet. I need to learn a lot more before I try that. I get enough errors using official releases.
