I've been running local PR servers for my builds. This works
quite well, as long as I don't touch my build trees.
What's the best way to manage versions long-term? i.e. if I
have a deployed system that I build today, but may not touch
for a long time (years?) and I might not want to keep my build
trees for that long. If I just blow away the build tree, the
next time I build for that target, all of the version info will
be lost. I'd like to be able to pick up where I left off.
We have a bitbake-prserv-tool script:
$ bitbake-prserv-tool
Usage: bitbake-prserv-tool command
Avaliable commands:
export <file.conf>: export and lock down the AUTOPR values from
the PR service into a file for release.
import <file.conf>: import the AUTOPR values from the exported
file into the PR service.
I haven't used it but it certainly reads like what you want?
Did you miss all the questions I had about it (that you cut from the
reply)?
Evidently yes, apologies — I clearly need more coffee.
Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to answer those questions, but
a quick look at the git history[1], related ticket[2] and wiki[3] makes
me think it was designed to work as you hope.
If you have build trees available it should be fairly cheap to verify,
I think.
This seems like a scenario we should document in the "Working With a PR
Service"[4] section of the Yocto Project Development Manual so please
do let us know how you get on.
Thanks, I will give it a go soon.

Joshua
