The rationale is for this specific increase is this: if you previously had meta-yocto in your existing bblayers.conf, since the reference BSP parts of meta-yocto were split out into meta-yocto-bsp for the upcoming release, you now need to add that layer to get the same functionality back. So we use this mechanism to get users to do that. > If meta layer specific values of LAYER_CONF_VERSION are allowed, the > sanity checker needs a better way to deal with these; alternatively, > above setting in meta-yocto/conf/distro/poky.conf is wrong. So either > of these should be fixed. By "better way to deal with these", what would you suggest? I don't see any alternative that avoids the BSP components just disappearing for users who have existing configurations. Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre
