I think the confusion is with the "version" - it could be interpreted as a new commit in project's SCM, or a full proper release. To Ross' point - if you can point to a public commit where the patch was merged, it is a Backport, even if the corresponding recipe only tracks proper releases and cannot be updated yet. -- Regards, Denys Dmytriyenko <[email protected]> PGP: 0x420902729A92C964 - https://denix.org/0x420902729A92C964 Fingerprint: 25FC E4A5 8A72 2F69 1186 6D76 4209 0272 9A92 C964
