Shouldn't Master get all these changes first then we switch to stable branch when we have a new release? My German genes are raging about "Rules" ; ) - armin On 04/06/2018 08:29 AM, Richard Purdie wrote: > On Fri, 2018-04-06 at 10:16 -0400, Trevor Woerner wrote: >> A) Some layers only switch

I understand the need to reduce the support burden. But there are some valid cases when you want to use components/layers from a different set of releases. It can sometimes be an older component in otherwise newer setup (i.e. one layer hasn't been updated yet from rocko, but it still works

FWIW: I've updated some layers with this LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_ today and I think it's good idea. It probably won't be enough to stop questions like this: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2018-April/149696.html but it's still better to show warning first and then some often

A) Some layers only switch to an official branch name when the find a reason to. E.g. branch "sumo" is created on openembedded-core but meta-A keeps working on master unless an incompatible change is created in openembedded-core that forces meta-A to create a "sumo" branch. B) Other layers create
