upgrading from oe-classic to oe-core

upgrading from oe-classic to oe-core

[Jaap de Jong]

Hi All,
If I have devices running on oe-classic and I want to upgrade them to 
oe-core, will the upgrade be without worries?
It will probably download all packages?
Or do I have to takes special steps?
Thanks,
Jaap

Depends on the devices and how well they are supported in yocto (e.g.
is there a bsp for them)
And on the actual packages you want to have on your device.

If you have some recipes of your own, you definitely will have some
work upgrading these.

That part is clear! And I'm working on that right now.

What I ment is: I have these devices with all those packages on them 
build with oe-classic.
I would really like to have an idea what will happen when I do a 'opkg 
update ; opkg upgrade' on them.
Anyone done that?
Thanks!
Jaap

It won't work, various packages have been renamed, combined or split up. Not
to mention that the toolchains are vastly different.
