I don't really think we are strict about it today. Currently, Ubuntu LTS (12.04) does not include point release number in its lsb release name. Debian does (and I noticed a similar bump patch was sent for CentOS recently). I suspect that in many cases, a new Ubuntu point release contains about the same changes that the Debian point release does. The issue is that new point releases, at least in the case of Debian, happens about every two months. These bumps are integrated to master, backported to older branches, but it still won't reach people working off releases immediately. Even if Poky chooses not to adopt this, it would still be a nice thing to have support for doing this internally for our layer/distro. -- olofjn _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
