Doubt about layer priority and package version preference

Doubt about layer priority and package version preference

[saurav]

Hi,

I am having some doubt about the yocto 1.3.  can anyone clarify the same?

Is there any change done in yocto 1.3 about the layer priority and package
version preference? I observed that 

In yocto1.2: Package version takes preference over the layer priority.  Ex.
If 1.0 version of package-1 is present in layer1 with higher priority then
layer2 which contains 2.0 version of package-1, then while building 2.0
version of package-1 is considered though layer priority is otherwise but

In Yocto1.3: Layer priority takes preference over package version. 

Regards,
Saurav

If you do not lock version of recipe as preferred then bit bake will choose the newest
available as per versioning rules (similar to debian versioning rules) and it should be
considering all configured layers via bblayers.
