[yocto] linux yocto private branch

[João Henrique Freitas]

Hi,

This question is about how I can track linux yocto and maintain a
private kernel.

I am tracking the yocto master on git.

My target is to use linux-yocto kernel and with my personal machine
(IBM and HP blade servers x86-64 or x86).
Probably I need to setup some special driver like disk controller or
network device, but it's not the case now.

I want to track linux-yocto kernel. To accomplish it, I created a
linux-yocto_git.bbappend with:

SRC_URI = "git://git.pokylinux.org/linux-yocto-2.6.37;protocol=git;fullclone=1;branch=${KBRANCH};name=machine
\
           git://git.pokylinux.org/linux-yocto-2.6.37;protocol=git;noclone=1;branch=meta;name=meta
\
           file://defconfig"

KMACHINE_mpg = "yocto/standard/common-pc/base" <---- it's right?
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "mpg" <--- my kernel config

My doubt: KMACHINE_mpg can be "yocto/standard/mpg" or it need to be a
strict branch on yocto git?

In other words, Can I have a private branch and track a default
yocto/standard/common-pc/base?

I read kernel-manual_9.pdf, section 3.4.4 but I believe it's a bit outdate now.

Currently I can build linux-yocto and create a full image to be use
with VirtualBox and with real hardware.

Thanks.

PS:

I think that yocto can be use to build and runs in big machines too,
not only in small devices.
