I'm afraid we can't do this in such a simple way. The big issue is that
according to our version comparison functions (in bitbake and in the
package managers), "3.14-rc8" > "3.14". This will then break updates
from package feeds.

The traditional way we've worked around this in times gone by is the
rather ugly:

PV = "3.13+3.14-rc8+git${SRCPV}"

since in this case "3.14" > "3.13+3.14-rc8"

The better way to handle this would be "3.14~rc8" however not all of our
package backends have support for "~" at this point so we can't do that.
There is a long standing bug open about this.

The same issue also applies to the libc-headers recipe.

eeee. Since I don't do package feeds, it's never been a problem for me.

Wouldn't PE bump when I go to 3.14 work as well ? Or does that go away
with the PR sever as well ?

A PE bump would work however we try not to use those, they're a last
resort to correct things we can't otherwise fix. The PR server doesn't
help here although in future I do hope we can teach it about PE too.

I can muck with PV, or we can hold until Linus releases over the
weekend, and I go with the released PVs.

What's your preference ?

Might as well wait over the weekend. If Linus does go for a rc9, we'll
need to merge a version with the modified PV though.

In the meantime I might pull this series into master-next for testing
but it will not get added to master in its current form.

FWIW: I just fixed the PVs of libc-headers and linux-yocto_3.14 to be the
3.13+ variety.

All other comments are also incorporated and the branches repushed.

Outside of needing to override the TC libc headers default of 3.14 (that I left
in, expecting the full update) in local.conf, all builds continue to
work.
