Hey all,

I'm looking to update libtiff to cover some security issues in the version we ship, and I noticed something funny about how we do it today. Currently tiff_3.9.2.bb sets PV to 3.9.2+4.0.0beta5 and grabs and builds 4.0.0beta5. While it's possible that in the past 3.9.2 was intended to be the last 3.9.x, it wasn't.

I think we should go with:
- Add tiff_4.0.0beta6.bb which should be compatible with beta5 and will get upgrades right. - Add tiff_3.9.4.bb as well, in case someone wants to stay on the released line.

Anyone see a problem with that?

Isn't PV="4.0.0" < PV="4.0.0beta5"?

Then it would be better to stay with 3.9.2+4.0.0beta* sheme for easy
upgrade path to 4.0.0 release.

at least that's the reason why I have ie:
KERNEL_RELEASE = "2.6.36-rc7"
OLD_KERNEL_RELEASE = "2.6.35"
PV = "${OLD_KERNEL_RELEASE}+${KERNEL_RELEASE}+gitr${SRCPV}"

Ah right. But the problem is that we're more like back in the "not quite 2.6.0" days of the kernel. Unless we just skip out on doing 3.9.4 itself, which I guess is possible.
