131 When you use <filename>devtool modify</filename>, the specified

134 In both cases, an environment is set up so that when you build the
135 recipe a source tree that is under your control is used in order to
136 allow you to make changes to the source as desired.
137 By default, both new recipes and the source go into a "workspace"
