Hello Ross, I have a different idea for poky versioning. Since, who ever does classical poky, one will have at least three layers there from your reference poky distro:
----------------------- Build Configuration: | ----------------------- DISTRO = poky DISTRO_VERSION = 2.4 ----------------------- Layer Revisions: | ----------------------- Since you decided long time ago to track poky DISTRO_VERSION assignment with meta-poky... And meta-poky is not one to be always included in the layering, correct? Assuming that, you can implant/embed the following 4 lines: DISTRO = "poky" DISTRO_NAME = "Poky (Yocto Project Reference Distro)" DISTRO_VERSION = "2.4" DISTRO_CODENAME = "rocko" in ./meta/conf/distro/defaultsetup.conf in meta layer. You anyway always clone meta layer from OpenEmbedded, and do your own SHA256 (which is always different than OE meta original). As such, the base (meta layer) will ALWAYS contain the DISTRO_VERSION variable, which is the correct approach, since you will also tag with DISTRO_VERSION the meta layer (there are different meta layers per different distro versions, do you agree?). And... Everyone needs meta layer (the base one), don't you agree as well? Do not forget. Open Embedded original meta will stay untouched, ready to be used for other distros (whatever these distros mean). *If I think deeper, actually Open Embedded meta layer determines (at the end of the day) DISTRO_CODENAME, doesn't it?* ;-) Best Regards, Zoran _______ On Thu, Apr 12, 2018 at 12:25 PM, Burton, Ross <ross.bur...@intel.com> wrote: > If your project also includes meta-poky then poky.conf will contain a > DISTRO_VERSION assignment.
