We can already do that with BB_STAMP_POLICY, the problem present is that it will generate packages with the same PV and PR, so it won't show up as upgrade, so users get a broken installation after the package manager upgrades the kernel, but not the modules since PV and PR didn't change for those. regards, Koen
