This may or may not be the correct thread to mention this, but following Philip's suggestion, this morning I switched to the rocko branch and now tpm2-tss builds correctly including setting the Version is sapi.pc.  However, when I then try to build tpm2-abrmd, oe_runmake fails, saying "No rule to make target 'install'."

We've been queuing up changes in the 1.x branch for another release and these fixes are among them. Now that the new AC commands are in and tested we're ready for another minor release. I've got time blocked off to get the first RC out tomorrow. I'll be sure to get a message out to the list to announce the new RC when it's up on github.

Thanks again for the valuable feedback,
Philip
