I'm also in favor of a yocto-project-1.2 tag, for the same reason as Koen and Philip mention. That would make it easier communicating with customers and PHB's that has heard of Yocto Project... > I do not want to see table containing Yocto Project release information > and they relate to a set of seemingly random tags in other layers. The risk for this is definitely somewhat higher with a strict YYYY-XX release tag (which also might collide with other projects/layer more easily). Thus, I'm advocating a 'yocto-project'-prefix for the tags in question. /Anders _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
