Is it a good idea to upgrade a package to a Release Candidate
version,
such as RC1, RC2 and so on ? I think no because:
1) Maybe the RC version is not stable enough.
2) Maybe the package's final version doesn't release when
oe-core/meta-oe releases, I think that use an older but
stable
version is better than new RC version usually.
In general that's true, - qemu is the obvious recent exception because
they should be releasing before we freeze and there were major fixes
in the RC compared to the latest stable release.
Agreed. If there is a pressing reason for an RC release which gives us
more benefit than drawback, we can consider it on a case by case basis.
With QEMU and the autobuilder issues we've been seeing, we decided we're
better off being close to upstream right now.
Got it , thanks.
