[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] sstate.bbclass: check before open the manifest

[Robert Yang]

Hi RP,

Thanks, I've made a draft patch for fixing why make-3.82 is being built,
the problem is that when we run "bitbake make-3.81":
- For 'make' itself, it will build make_3.81.bb
- But for make-dev/dbg, it will build make_3.82.bb since there is no
PREFERRED_VERSION and it will use the highest version.

This draft patch sets the PREFERRED_VERSION for the pkg and will fix the
problem, I will send it to bitbake-devel later.
