Bitbake is moving target. OE.dev can be used with Bitbake 1.8.12 release=20 or Bitbake 1.8 branch or Bitbake trunk (master on git server or 1.9.x in=20 numbering).=20 We do not know what tomorrow will bring - maybe OE.dev will start to=20 require Bitbake 1.8.14 as minimal version and will work fine with HEAD=20 of 1.9 (aka master) branch. This will require developers to update their=20 Bitbake to newer.=20 =46or stable/2009 branch we require 1.8.12 version as it was minimal=20 version required by OE.dev branch at that time. We do not know will it=20 work with 1.8.14 or any newer release - maybe it will, maybe it will=20 generate unbootable images. Thats why Bitbake was added in that branch. Again: OE.dev works with many versions of Bitbake and developer can=20 choose any of working ones (1.8.12, 1.8-HEAD, master-HEAD) for his=20 builds. For stable/2009 we support only included 1.8.12 version. Regards,=20 =2D-=20 JID: hrw@jabber.org Website: http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/marcinjuszkiewicz
