Hello,
I'm having a problem trying to run Bastille. Seems like the kernel
version has changed from 3.8.11 to 3.8.13 and
in order to run Bastille, i need to patch a file used by the tool to
check the version of the system. It was previously
patched with linux-yocto-3.8.11 version, but now it has changed to
linux-yocto-3.8.13 and the tool doesn't work
because it doesn't identify the right version of the kernel.
Is there a way to find out the kernel version at build time so i can
replace it dynamically in that specific file?
Thanks in advance,
Andrei Dinu

Hmm, so if you add a DEPENDS on virtual/kernel you should be able to rely on
the contents of ${STAGING_KERNEL_DIR}/kernel-abiversion - have a look at what
meta/classes/module.bbclass does with this.
Cheers,
Paul
