Hello. I have a large number of devices running code from an Angstrom 2010.x-based distro. I want to upgrade them to a more current version of software, but I am confused which of the meta-angstrom branches I should follow.
On the meta-angstrom repository I see the following branches: upstream/angstrom-v2012.05-yocto1.2 upstream/angstrom-v2012.12-yocto1.3 upstream/master On the meta-openembedded I have: upstream/denzil upstream/denzil-next upstream/master On openembedded-core there is an extra master-next, 2011-1 and a danny branch. As far as i can see the master branches match in creating what you call angstrom-next; 2012.05-yocto1.2 seems to match the denzil branches from OE, and danny is mentioned on the yocto project web page as codename for 1.3. I have managed to compile and perform a test upgrade with opkg to the current master branches, but the device was unable to boot afterwards (i.e. systemd would not provide a login prompt, and dbus errors related to systemd were filling up the console). At this stage I decided to go to you, Angstrom developers, and ask some questions necessary for taking a decision on how to proceed further: Where did 2010.x go? Is it "continued" by any of the current branches? What are the best practices when upgrading devices based on your distro? Are there any resources/examples/guides? What is the procedure for upgrading devices between Angstrom "releases" (i.e. from 2010.x to 2012.05 or, perhaps, angstrom-next)? What exactly differentiates 2010.x from 2012.05, 2012.12 and angstrom-next? Thanks, Ciprian _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
