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>

<div><br>

<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 ? I'm more of a kernel guy than a
package format guy .. so</div>
<div>I'm probably missing something obvious.</div>

If I build a genericx86_64 core-image_sato without this patch, only
with the other patch which add the versions(only the parts that are
in round parenthesis) I have the following packages:<br>
<br>
Package: kernel-4.10.9-yocto-standard<br>
Version: 4.10.9+git0+ad2e885015_fe0fb8da3d-r0<br>
Depends: kernel-image-4.10.9-yocto-standard (=
4.10.9+git0+ad2e885015_fe0fb8da3d-r0)<br>
Provides: kernel-4.10.9-yocto-standard, kernel-base<br>
<br>
Package: kernel-image-4.10.9-yocto-standard<br>
Version: 4.10.9+git0+ad2e885015_fe0fb8da3d-r0<br>
Depends: kernel-image-bzimage-4.10.9-yocto-standard (=
4.10.9+git0+ad2e885015_fe0fb8da3d-r0)<br>
Provides: kernel-image<br>
<br>
Package: kernel-module-6lowpan-4.10.9-yocto-standard<br>
Version: 4.10.9+git0+ad2e885015_fe0fb8da3d-r0<br>
Depends: kernel-4.10.9-yocto-standard (=
4.10.9+git0+ad2e885015_fe0fb8da3d-r0)<br>
Provides: kernel-module-6lowpan<br>
<br>
So the problem are the Depends field. We have the 4.10.9 part in the
dependents that is messing with the upgrade. If we want to do only
some minor update that doesn't change this value than everything is
ok. It works. But if we have a new value e.g. 4.10.10 than we
couldn't do the upgrade. <br>
So that's why I came up with this patch to be able to modify the
Depends value to something like: kernel-image-4.10-yocto-standard,
or even kernel-image.

This was the simple and cleanest way I could think of to
achieve the my scenario. But if there is a better idea
