Re: [PATCH] u-boot: update to 2013.07

["Peter A. Bigot" <pab@pabigot.com>]

I can confirm this also works with the Gumstix Overo in a layer bbappend 
that used SRC_URI_append_overo for additional patches.  Thanks to you 
both for getting it merged.

I did come up with a question, though.  The recipe uses:

   PV = "v2013.07+git${SRCPV}"

which creates an informative but ugly ${BPN}.  I'd like to use something 
like:

   FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${BPN}:"

in the bbappend to simplify updates, but I don't want to have a 
directory named u-boot-v2013.07+gitAUTOINC+62c175fbb8.  For linux-yocto, 
this is solved through introduction of ${LINUX_VERSION} allowing 
${PN}-${LINUX_VERSION}.

Is there reason to create a parallel UBOOT_VERSION?

Is there reason to have some way to access the default ${PV} inferred 
from the recipe name before the base recipe overrode it? (Is there 
already some way to get that value?)

Is there a better approach than bbappend-in-layer that I should use for 
adding patches required for a specific u-boot machine?
