* extract: Copy all local source files (i.e. non-compressed/non-arcived
SRC_URI files that have file:// URI prefix) - excluding patches - to
the srctree repository. The files will be placed in a subdirectory
called 'oe-local-files'. The oe-local-files directory is not committed
to the Git repository, but, marked to be ignored by a .gitignore file.
The developer can manually add and commit the files to Git if the
changes to them need to be tracked.
Before this patch, local source files (were copied (and committed) to
the srctree repository only in some special cases (basically when
S=WORKDIR) when doing devtool-extract. For most of the packages local
files were not copied at all.
* update-recipe: This patch causes the local files to be 'synced' from
the srctree (i.e. from the 'oe-local-files' subdirectory) to the
layer. Being 'synced' means that in addition to copying modified
files over the original sources, devtool will also handle removing and
adding local source files and updating the recipe accordingly. We
don't want to create patches against the local source files but rather
update them directly. Thus, 'oe-local-file' directory is ignored in
patch generation when doing update-recipe, even if committed to Git.
This functionality is only enabled if the 'oe-local-files' directory
is present in srctree.
