Critical bugfixes aside, I think the current system of unrestrained, perpetual package bumps is an issue. If dylan uses version 1 of package XYZ and dora uses version 5, is there any need for the 3 intervening package bumps which occurred between the release of dylan and dora? If nothing else, these "irrelevant updates" increase the chance of causing problems ;-) > 3) OE releases work great and don't invalidate sstate signatures so often, so > my > feeling is that most developers and projects are just using releases and > less and less people do CI. Would users prefer a better-tested more-likely-to-work release containing package versions which were several months old, or is staying on the bleeding edge more important? There is always exponentially more work/cost required to be an early adopter. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
