Re: [Gumstix-users] how to get specific version of openembedded?

[lerikson <ler...@gm...>]

Hmm, I'm not seeing how to proceed yet.  My goal is to do option (1) that
you list in your response.

If I do the following:
$ mkdir -p ~/overo-oe
$ cd ~/overo-oe
$ git clone git://gitorious.org/gumstix-oe/mainline.git org.openembedded.dev
$ cd org.openembedded.dev
$ git tag -l

Then I would expect to see the list of past versions to checkout.  Or even
the current versions to checkout, but I get nothing at all in response.

Even after I do the checkout:
$ git checkout --track -b overo origin/overo

I still get no response to a 'git tag -l'.  What am I missing here?
