[oe] [RFC] Using ${PR} instead of ${DATETIME} in deployed kernel image filename

[Paul Sokolovsky]

Hello openembedded-devel,

  I already mentioned this in
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2007-December/003695.html , here's specific RFC:
I'd like to propose using the following filename pattern for deployed
kernel images: "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}-${PV}-${PR}-${MACHINE}", instead
of "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}-${PV}-${MACHINE}-${DATETIME}". This will
ensure that kernels built from the same recipe are named consistently,
and thus will allow users and developers track kernels easier. Also,
any change to build configuration should be accompanied by recipe PR
bump, so new kernel file will be produces.

  So:

1. Does anybody see something grossly wrong with this scheme?
2. Otherwise, I'm going to change this for linux-handhelds-2.6, and
would like to encourage maintainers of the other kernel recipes to do
the same.
