<div>This is introducing yet another variable that tweaks
the already complex setting of</div>
<div>the kernel version. Not to mention this code is already
touchy with respect to</div>
<div>parse time and rebuilding of the kernel.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My concern is that if this is set, we are completely
disassociated with the source</div>

<div>Where did you think this would be set ? local.conf ?
distro config ? somewhere else ?</div>

I have setting the variable in the kernel recipe. I need a way to
override the KERNEL_VERSION because I want the kernel packages name
to contain only a part of the version or nothing at all. <br>
I need this for the the kernel upgrade stuff, because if the package
name is something like: kernel-4.9.8-{static_string} then I couldn't
upgrade to a version like: kernel-4.9.10-{static_string}, because
they are two different packages. I wanted a simple way to be able to
have the package name : kernel-4.9-{static_string}, then I could do
the upgrade for the new minor updates of the kernel.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I could have sworn this (upgrading) was already possible via the version string we</div><div>are currently using. i.e. the PV is already picked up from the kernel source, and</div><div>that should be doing the job.</div><div><br></div><div>i.e. when I unpack my kernel-image-bzimage-4.10.15-yocto-standard_4.10.15+git0+4d929fac34_d2c1ed3c0c-r0_qemux86_64.ipk</div><div>package, I see that it has:<br></div><div><br> Version: 4.10.15+git0+4d929fac34_d2c1ed3c0c-r0<br></div><div> but obviously has the general provides: Provides: kernel-image-bzimage<br></div><div><br></div><div>So that should be upgradable based on the version ... sure they have different names, but the provides</div><div>and versions take care of things.</div><div><br></div><div>The versioning, ability to install multiple kernels, upgrades, etc, have really churned</div><div>these variables making them a mess to read.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm probably misunderstanding your use case and error, can you elaborate for me</div><div>and/or provide a log ?

This was the simple and cleanest way I could think of to achieve the
my scenario. But if there is a better idea for this, let me know.<span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
