Indeed, it is. But that's what our customer demanded. We are trying to
convince them for other
option but so far we are failed to do so. But we never give up ;-)

Thanks a lot,

Hi,

Is there any update on this?

Any tentative date or time when It could be officially added.

We need swupdate as official debian package for one of our customer.
If it would not be added in next few months then we would probably
like to use swupdate with yocto.

 please let us me know about the status so that we can make our
decision accordingly.

Thanks and regards,
Shyam
