Hello to Yocto community, As I am much more passive yocto wise these few years ( working on Android build systems and around, this is also a nightmare, I should say ;-) ), I have one Yocto question which I never really understood.
I will ask it by example. I have one layer for the CAN tools and apps which I have created 4 years ago: https://github.com/ZoranStojsavljevic/meta-socketcan In there, in conf/layer.conf: https://github.com/ZoranStojsavljevic/meta-socketcan/blob/master/conf/layer.conf I have the following line (layers' compatibility): LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_meta-socketcan = "sumo thud warrior zeus dunfell gatesgarth hardknott honister kirkstone" I do not understand why we need to explicitly name releases for such simple generic layers?! Instead, for a virtual example: LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_meta-socketcan = "${AUTOLAYER x}" So all the layers might be included (or for at least lets say x = 4 latest releases, where x = 0 would be include all)? I do understand that complex layers could NOT have such a definition (because of the dependencies), but for the generic layers (as such presented), this would be beneficial. Thank you for the answers, Zee _______
