Experimenting with kgit-scc

Hi,

Are there plans in the Yocto roadmap to make the meta/scripts/kgit tools generally usable?

I like the organization of the Yocto kernel repository and for my embedded project I'm considering using the Yocto build system along with a Yocto-style kernel tree instead of maintaining my kernel patches as recipe add-ons. The Yocto-style kernel repo could be either a local clone of Yocto's kernel repo with extra machine-specific branches, or a kernel.org tree locally post-processed by kgit-scc.

I experimented with meta/scripts/kgit-scc from linux-yocto-dev but the kgit tools don't seem to be intended for general use yet (e.g. the -meta files contain hard-coded home directory paths, and guilt-push complains that guilt-init must be run first). The official Yocto documentation says as much, but I was wondering if there are future plans to generalize these tools.

Thanks,
Thomas

I've got a series of patches that aren't yet published that make things more generic + some documentation about how to use them to create repositories from scratch.

Both those changes are largely prep'd and I should have them out in the next few weeks (i.e. early in the 1.3 cycle).

Cheers,

Bruce
