307 | <filename>SRCREV_meta</filename> variable to match the commit in | ||
308 | the <filename>KMETA</filename> branch you wish to use. | ||
309 | Changing the data in these branches and not updating the | ||
310 | <filename>SRCREV</filename> statements to match will cause the | ||
311 | build to fetch an older commit. | ||
