Use the update-recipe
command to cause
devtool
to update your recipe with patches
that reflect changes you make to the source files.
For example, if you know you are going to work on some
code, you could first use the
modify
command to extract the code and set up the workspace.
After which, you could modify, compile, and test the code
in its own layer to which it was extracted.
When you are satisfied with the results you can then
run the update-recipe
to create the
patches and update the recipe in the external layer:
$ devtool update-recipe recipe
devtool update-recipe ‐‐help
command.
