And let's be clear that I'm not going to trade off a few users carrying a small tweak to their local configs / layers if they want to support a different set of versions than I'm testing, with even a single user thinking that the support is extended to anything more than the versions in oe-core. It has to be enforced through the layer, not documentation or what people think they know. > Hence, I'm assuming that other users are or have been impacted and > carry a workaround. > Relaxing the versioned include doesn't change what you've been > testing, as it's pretty > clear it is whatever is supported by oe-core. It's unfortunate because the > linux-%.bbappend is relaxed. git contains all the history, it was a compromise from the start to allow other kernels of the same version, that don't happen to be linux-yocto to work. We went through quite a few iterations to get it to work, and I often do wish we had just kept the matching more strict.
