I understand Nitin's comment, ideally we would want all of meta-intel to use the same SRCREVs for each kernel we build. You can, as Nitin says, set PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel and PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto independently from the intel-common-pkgarch.inc. However, I don't think Wei Sern was referring to "PREFERRED_PROVIDER" or "PREFERRED_VERSION" by "preferred kernel version", I suspect he was referring to SRCREV. ISG validates on a specific kernel version and they want to release only what they have validated. In the future, I would like to see us consolidate here. However, it is their choice which kernel and which SRCREV's they validate against. I would caution Wei Sern not to avoid using the common pkgarch lightly as it adds a lot of overhead to the builder and weakens the Intel advantage story. However, if they cannot support the SRCREVs we ship with the rest of the BSPs, this may be the only option. If that is their position, I wouldn't block this patch. -- Darren > >Thanks, >Nitin > >On 5/7/2014 5:19 PM, [email protected] wrote: >> From: Chan Wei Sern <[email protected]> >> >> Removed using of intel-common-pkgarch.inc in >> crystalforest-gladden.conf and crystalforest-server.conf. >> As we would like to have control over preferred linux-yocto >> version for machine specific build. >> >> Signed-off-by: Chan Wei Sern <[email protected]> >> --- >> meta-crystalforest/conf/machine/crystalforest-gladden.conf | 1 - >> meta-crystalforest/conf/machine/crystalforest-server.conf | 1 - >> 2 files changed, 2 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/meta-crystalforest/conf/machine/crystalforest-gladden.conf >>b/meta-crystalforest/conf/machine/crystalforest-gladden.conf >> index 9c33293..c1b552a 100644 >> --- a/meta-crystalforest/conf/machine/crystalforest-gladden.conf >> +++ b/meta-crystalforest/conf/machine/crystalforest-gladden.conf >> @@ -12,7 +12,6 @@ PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel ?= "linux-yocto" >> PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto ?= "3.10%" >> >> require conf/machine/include/intel-corei7-64-common.inc >> -require conf/machine/include/intel-common-pkgarch.inc >> require conf/machine/include/meta-intel.inc >> >> XSERVER ?= "${XSERVER_X86_BASE} \ >> diff --git a/meta-crystalforest/conf/machine/crystalforest-server.conf >>b/meta-crystalforest/conf/machine/crystalforest-server.conf >> index fd0e80a..7a5da09 100644 >> --- a/meta-crystalforest/conf/machine/crystalforest-server.conf >> +++ b/meta-crystalforest/conf/machine/crystalforest-server.conf >> @@ -12,7 +12,6 @@ PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel ?= "linux-yocto" >> PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto ?= "3.10%" >> >> require conf/machine/include/intel-corei7-64-common.inc >> -require conf/machine/include/intel-common-pkgarch.inc >> require conf/machine/include/meta-intel.inc >> >> XSERVER ?= "${XSERVER_X86_BASE} \ > > -- Darren Hart Open Source Technology Center [email protected] Intel Corporation -- _______________________________________________ meta-intel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-intel
