This is introducing yet another variable that tweaks the already
complex setting of
the kernel version. Not to mention this code is already touchy with
respect to
parse time and rebuilding of the kernel.
My concern is that if this is set, we are completely disassociated
with the source
code of the kernel.
Where did you think this would be set ? local.conf ? distro config ?
somewhere else ?
If we had a way to simply override KERNEL_VERSION, we wouldn't need
any extra
variables.

"Thou shalt not follow the NULL pointer, for chaos and madness await
thee at its end"
I have setting the variable in the kernel recipe. I need a way to
override the KERNEL_VERSION because I want the kernel packages name to
contain only a part of the version or nothing at all.
I need this for the the kernel upgrade stuff, because if the package
name is something like: kernel-4.9.8-{static_string} then I couldn't
upgrade to a version like: kernel-4.9.10-{static_string}, because they
are two different packages. I wanted a simple way to be able to have the
package name : kernel-4.9-{static_string}, then I could do the upgrade
for the new minor updates of the kernel.
This was the simple and cleanest way I could think of to achieve the my
scenario. But if there is a better idea for this, let me know.
