uclibc recipes in oe-core versioning & using upstream

uclibc recipes in oe-core versioning & using upstream

[Brendan Le Foll]

I'm trying to understand the logic behind the uclibc recipes, it seems
it is using fairly random points in history of git master and not the
0.9.33 point releases that have been made.

What is the logic behind that and why not use the upstream release
builds as a starting point?

Thanks,
Brendan

last uclibc release has been long time ago. We need newer features
especially for systemd to work.
are you seeing some issues with what we have ? and its always top of
master. We pick a master version
and then stabilize it to whatever we can. btw. uclibc master does not
move at a faster pace where it breaks often
so its ok to use it.
