Compiling Angstrom for Beagleboard

I want to understand how to compile new images for the Beagleboard. I looked this up on the wiki, and discovered this web page

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom

and one of the first steps in that is

git checkout origin/stable/2009 -b stable/2009

My question is: do I still need to checkout 'origin/stable/2009 -b stable/2009' or should this change to 'origin/stable/2010 -b stable/2010'?

Also, I copied my bitbake directory from the corresponding directory I was using to do a Gumstix Overo build. I hope this won't get me in trouble as I attempt to bitbake for the Beagleboard.

Thanks

No idea as I am using unstable, but in the time you typed this message
you could easily have tried it.

It won't, provided the version is new enough.

What branch are you referring to with »unstable«?

        $ git branch -r | grep stable
          origin/org.openembedded.angstrom-2007.12-stable
          origin/org.openembedded.stable
          origin/stable/2009
          origin/trini/stable/2009/sdk-updates

[…]

Thank you for teaching me a git command and answering my question in the same stroke! I really need to learn more about git and openembedded.
