Helo Paul,

It got stripped because of your recommendation to use 
--subject-prefix="v2". The "How to submit a patch to OpenEmbedded" wiki 
page at 
<http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded#Create_and_Commit_your_patch> 
recommends the same.

Anyway, the patch got picked up by patchwork.

I have these two config fields set up exactly like this. Git, however, 
chooses to generate a mail with two From: header lines.

Well, I though this recipe was already *there* before I started, so it's 
not a "r0". But all right, I'll reset this ro "r0" in [v3].

Nope, no idea. I am merely trying to get one single build from start to 
finish, but OpenEmbeddded keeps breaking all the time. I've been doing 
this for about a week now without success.

Given the current (in)stability of the build framework I think I'm far, 
far away from a system state reliable enough to even think about the 
cross-versioning build tests you're suggesting.

Regards, Thilo
