Sorry, I forgot to add that once you use SRCREV to always check out
the latest version, you will have to add two more things:

a) SRCREV_pn-python-gsmd = "${AUTOREV}"

and

b) a small fix for bitbake's autorev behaviour:

                     ud.revision = rev
                     ud.date = "" 

To improve quality and stability, we no longer use floating SRCREV's
in OpenEmbedded .dev, that's why you have to do a) to enable it
explicitly for a package.

Hope that helps.
