Add CI bot to automatically update Yocto meta layers
This contains:
- Preparation for the bot implementation
- A job template that implements a simple bot to
- Bump the layer revisions
- Push the changes to a feature branch
- Create a merge request
This was tested by adding the following code in the build directories .gitlab-ci.yml
:
meta-bump-bot:
extends: .meta-bump-bot
To give the pipeline push access to the repo and API permissions to create a MR you need to add a project access token to your build repo and expose it via a masked CI variable with the key PROJECT_ACCESS_TOKEN
