The big issue is that according to our version comparison functions (in bitbake and in the package managers), "3.14-rc8" > "3.14". This will then break updates from package feeds. The traditional way we've worked around this in times gone by is the rather ugly: PV = "3.13+3.14-rc8+git${SRCPV}" since in this case "3.14" > "3.13+3.14-rc8" The better way to handle this would be "3.14~rc8" however not all of our package backends have support for "~" at this point so we can't do that. There is a long standing bug open about this. The same issue also applies to the libc-headers recipe. Cheers, Richard
