If you're working on a recipe that pulls from an external Source Code Manager (SCM), it
|
||||||
|
is possible to have the OpenEmbedded build system notice new changes added to the
|
||||||
|
SCM and then build the package that depends on them using the latest version.
|
||||||
|
This only works for SCMs from which it is possible to get a sensible revision number for changes.
|
||||||
|
Currently, you can do this with Apache Subversion (SVN), Git, and Bazaar (BZR) repositories.

To enable this behavior, simply add the following to the <filename>local.conf</filename>
|
||||||
|
configuration file found in the
|
||||||
|
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>build directory</ulink>:
|
||||||
|
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
|
||||||
|
SRCREV_pn-<PN> = "${AUTOREV}"
|
||||||
|
</literallayout>
|
||||||
|
where <filename>PN</filename>
|
||||||
|
is the name of the package for which you want to enable automatic source
|
||||||
|
revision updating.
