FWIW, I also don't change the version of the linux-yocto-dev kernels until a valid -rc1 is released, even though the "version' has moved on from the previous release. That being said, until I find a better option to keep the versions reported via the runtime to match the package version, I can either bump the version or hold / revert the _git recipe until the first release candidates are out. I'll go ahead and stage the change with the fixup, even if I don't like the version management scheme :) Bruce > Bruce > > > > > ~Michal > > > > > > > > > -- > - Thou shalt not follow the NULL pointer, for chaos and madness await > thee at its end > - "Use the force Harry" - Gandalf, Star Trek II > > > -- - Thou shalt not follow the NULL pointer, for chaos and madness await thee at its end - "Use the force Harry" - Gandalf, Star Trek II
