[yocto] Fetch from git every bitbake

[Robert Berger]

Hi Mauro,

Can you please elaborate a bit what exactly you try to do?

SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"

will get the latest and greatest version from your git repo (the first 
time and afterwards only if something changed in the git repo) and a 
rebuild will only be triggered if something changed on your git repo.

If I understand it correctly you are trying to "fetch" and "build" every 
time, even if nothing changed in the git repo.

Keep in mind, that bitbake will "only" fetch a new version from git if 
there is a new version available.

In case you changed nothing in you git repo bitbake will most likely use 
the cached version and also no new build will be triggered.

In case you want to "compile" every time even if nothing changed you can 
try this:

do_compile[nostamp] = "1"

[nostamp]: When set to "1", tells BitBake to not generate a stamp file 
for a task, which implies the task should always be executed.

In case you can provide an example .bb and explain your problem I guess 
we can better help.

Regards,

Robert
