Heads Up: Bitbake minimum version change imminent

Heads Up: Bitbake minimum version change imminent

[Richard Purdie]

I just wanted to let people know that we have a minimum version of
bitbake change imminent for OE-Core.

I've already pushed the changes we need to bitbake for umask, shared
work directory and multilib and updated its version to 1.13.2. I'm
planning to merge patches to OE-Core which depend on these changes later
this week (and bump the minimum version OE-Core requires at the same
time).

In case it isn't clear, I've been batching things up to try and ensure
we only have to do this once for a variety of improvements :)

Cheers,

Richard

I have to say that it's *extremely* unintuitive to have a minimum
version requirement on a version that hasn't even been tagged in the
git repository. If it's good enough to depend on, it should be good
enough to consider released.

Agreed and I did add the tags.
