It's beginning to sound like we've caught some folks off guard by
pushing changes to the edison branch of the poky repository in
preparation for an upcoming edison point release.
The named branches are development branches for the release, stable
release development will be done in the named branch and we can't
guarantee they will be issue free (though we intend them to be where
possible).
If you're looking to use a git checkout which matches the release
tarballs you should checkout the tags for the releases. i.e. for Poky
Edison-6.0/Yocto 1.1:
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tag/?id=edison-6.0
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/tag/?id=edison-6.0
So instead of doing:
git checkout -b edison origin/edison
what should I do if I want to stay in sync with the tarball. This may
just be a doc problem.
I'd do:
git fetch --tags
git checkout edison-6.0
Then when a new tarball comes out, you'd repeat with the new tag name.
We I just tried that and it crashed a lot quicker. I'll just stick to
the tarballs until this is all sorted out.
Are you using an appropriate tag (or branch) of meta-intel? The master
branch of meta-intel with the bernard tag of poky will fail to parse
because some of the recipes being appended to in meta-intel have
changed names.
Can you explain the branch vs. tag as Yocto uses it? most of the help on
git checkout refers to branch, where we are talking using a tag name. In
Yocto what is the difference?
A tag is a snapshot, a release or milestone usually, and is static.
Releases (and their tarballs) are generated from a tag.
A branch represents some ongoing development of some sort, we branch
master when we're close to release and only put bug fixes in the branch.
When it comes to release time we tag the release.
We use those same branches for any stable maintenance work, once that's
ready for release we'll create another tag.
In short:
* branches are for development and the contents change
* tags are snapshots
Cheers,
Joshua
