I know it probably isn't the best way (did it mostly because I was in
a hurry and never took the time to think about the "right" way to do
it) but I've made changes to the kernel & u-boot before in the tmp
directories (with Angstrom and Arago) and build images manually (make
uImage etc.) and that was OK for quick/dirty things but I've gotten
burned before by forgetting my changes and doing a bitbake build and
wiping out my changes.   I like the method of pointing yocto to local
git repos and think that is better for long term development as it
will contain history and would be easy to determine what changed etc.
I'd like to do something similar with u-boot and thought you guys had
worked out a defacto standard way but in looking through all the docs
it doesn't look that way.
