Hi, I was wondering why existing images would not have version numbers attached. Say, we have a core-image-minimal image, but from the recipe, it is not possible which image version it is.
Perhaps, it is just my ignorance and lack of understand, but for the moment, it seems to be an important information for e.g. distribution vendors and image creators to have an image version and the corresponding packages and versions attached to that particular version. It is easier to do a software upgrade then if you wish to do that based on the information of a certain image variant. I mean, it will lead to more manageable and reproducable images. It is possible that I am not aware of something important, so please enlighten me. It would be nice to see how other OE users do a system upgrade. For instance, the MeeGo Nokia phone had a software version information in the settings, and that is something I would personally consider as the image version, but again, there might be better ways. Please share good practices in here., or alternatively, feel free to point me to any documentation, examples, etc. Cheers, L. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
