imx-yocto-bsp revision control

[razriel]

NXP provides a bsp based on yocto.

I have downloaded the bsp and did modifications. some of the modifications are in customized layer I have created.

some of the modification are in the source files of the recipes in other layers. 

Is there any common practice how to do revision control of the meta-layers provided in the bsp in our own remote repository.

I dont want to invent the wheel. can someone direct me to a good documentation that suggest options how to do the revision control.

Hi @razriel !

Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

NXP doesn't have documentation about that, but for the control version, you can use git.

If you intend to do long-term support for your product, I recommend using a Docker Yocto builder container, with Docker Yocto builder you can build your images with the same Yocto Project over several years.

I think is possible to use Docker Yocto builder and git to have better revision control, but I am not sure.

Please read the git and Docker documentation.
