Hi all,
One feature carried over from packagehistory.bbclass into buildhistory.bbclass
was the ability for it to optionally output PE:PV-PR named package info files
and then create a "latest" symlink to the latest one, which was useful in the
absence of the integration with git which buildhistory now has. This can
currently be enabled by setting BUILDHISTORY_KEEP_VERSIONS to 1.
I suspect not many people even know this feature exists let alone use it, and
looking at the code it could be simplified a bit by not supporting it at all.
Are there any objections to removing it?
Cheers,
Paul

Speaking as the author of that original code, I'm probably fine with
that, things have moved on...
Cheers,
