[OE-core] [PATCH] archiver.bbclass: do checkout for kernel

[Jian Liu]

Hi,

All kernels I list bellow will perform do_fetch(), do_unpack(), 
do_kernel_checkout().
do_unpack() will put a bare git repo under WORKDIR and then 
do_kernel_checkout()
will move the bare repo to bitbake/tmp/work-share/<board 
name>/kernel-source(value of variable S),
then performing "git checkout".

So do_ar_original must wait until do_kernel_checkout() is completed and 
then make tarball using the code under S.
Do I make that clear?


You refer to kernels other than linux-yocto. Can you give me an example?
I do not know how to build such kernel.

Thanks!
Jian
