[oe] developmet setup

[Vladimir Davydov]

Hi,

Maybe following way will not usefull for you, but it is working for me.

I have overrided do_fetch() method in the kernel recipe to make symlink to my 
kernel source tree, which is under git control.

S = "${WORKDIR}/linux-2.6"

do_fetch () {                                                                                                                                          
  cd ${WORKDIR}                                                                                                                                      
  if [ ! -L ${S} ]; then                                                                                                                             
    ln -sf ${MY_KERNEL_PATH} ${S}                                                                                                             
  fi                                                                                                                                                 
}                                                                                                                                                      

MY_KERNEL_PATH is the local path to my kernel source tree. It is passed from  
environment variables.
I'm using this way only for kernel development.
