Thanks, Armin, that is the kind of thing I was looking for. It doesn't mention a timespan for updates, but there does seem to be an implicit maintenance period of 12 months after release. I am still worried that this is a rather short period of time, though, and encourages device manufacturers to avoid ever updating boxes in the field. >> >> Regards, >> Chris Simmonds >> > -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
