The main reason its out of favour in OE is that is doesn't give unique reproducible results or autoincrement properly when the SCM changes. For something like svn, SRCREV works really well. For something like git it only partially works due to the nature of revision naming. For something like cvs it doesn't work at all and SRCDATE is the only option. So it all depends on the SCM in question and the usecase. Its 100% deprecated for svn in OE, the other scms are a different question. Cheers, Richard
