Hi Alex,
I'd like to include the version info of the dependency when printing the
version info of the consuming application and was hoping yocto might store
this meta data in one of its variables, since it should already know the PV
of the dependency.
As you suggest, I could have the dependent package write its version info
to a file, that it then installs, then have the consuming project read said
file; call this a cmake config file or pkg-config file, if yocto provide no
direct method of sharing this data... which I think is what your confirming
for me.
