[PATCH 0/2] remove qemu kernel version overrides and superfluous version settings

[PATCH 0/2] remove qemu kernel version overrides and superfluous version settings

[brian avery]

Hi,

This removes the extra settings for the default kernel version so that you
can specify PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto="X%" in your local.conf and it will
work for all the default MACHINES poky suports: qemu and hw boards both.

Without this patch, the hardware boards would have used version X but the qemu
machines would have used the default since they had machine specific overrides
in the poky distro conf.

[PATCH 1/2] meta-yocto-bsp: Remove superfluous kernel set

[brian avery]

The genericx86 and genericx86-64 machine confs do not need to set the
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel as they will use the one set by the
distribution. If there needed to be a different version for one of these
machines in the future, we could add it in to the machine.conf.

[PATCH 2/2] poky: Remove machine specific kernel overrides

[brian avery]

This patch removes the machine specific overrides in poky.conf for all
the qemu machines.  With this patch, if you set
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto="X%" then all the qemu machines as well as
the sample hardware boards will use that version. Without this patch,
the hardware boards would have used version X but the qemu machines
would have needed to have a PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto_qemuarm="X%"
for qemuarm to use that version, for example.  If we need to force a
specific machine (hardware or qemu) to a particular default version we
should add it to the machine conf files for that machine, not in the
distro conf.

State : failure

== Summary ==


Thank you for submitting this patch series to OpenEmbedded Core. This is
an automated response. Several tests have been executed on the proposed
series by patchtest resulting in the following failures:



* Issue             Series does not apply on top of target branch [test_series_merge_on_head] 
  Suggested fix    Rebase your series on top of targeted branch
  Targeted branch  master (currently at 119dd0889f)

* Issue             Series sent to the wrong mailing list or some patches from the series correspond to different mailing lists [test_target_mailing_list] 
  Suggested fix    Send the series again to the correct mailing list (ML)
  Suggested ML     poky@yoctoproject.org [http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/]
  Patch's path:    meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/genericx86-64.conf



If you believe any of these test results are incorrect, please reply to the
mailing list (openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org) raising your concerns.
Otherwise we would appreciate you correcting the issues and submitting a new
version of the patchset if applicable. Please ensure you add/increment the
version number when sending the new version (i.e. [PATCH] -> [PATCH v2] ->
[PATCH v3] -> ...).
