Yes you are absolutely right, I would need the variable that contains list of
the versions (in my example: VAR = "1.1 1.2 1.3") for the installed packages
and not for the included recipes.
If I understood correctly, you are suggesting this:
in distro or config file:
PKGS_INSTALL = "pkg-1.1 pkg-1.2 pkg-1.3"
PKGS_VER = "${@some python code to get the versions in a list for PKGS_INSTALL
variable}"
in my image recipe:
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " ${PKGS_INSTALL}"

Yes the purpose is to use it in another recipe.
I am installing multiple version of the package and I have an update recipe
based on swupdate that will have these versions listed in a file so that I can
ONLY trigger updates based on some logics that are linked to these versions.

This is the same suggestion as above right?

Unfortunately I would not be able to do that because the update is generated
during build so I would need this information before.
Of course I can simply write the versions in a specfic variable and update it
when I add/remove a new version but I was hoping to find a more generic and
specific way of doing that.
