[PATCH 0/4] Whinlatter release updates

[PATCH 0/4] Whinlatter release updates

[Antonin Godard]

Regarding which patch to merge/backport:

- The first patch can be merged and backported to active branches.

- The second patch will be backported to the whinlatter branch once the
  release is out.

- The third patch should be applied to master only when the release is
  out, as it depends on the tags being created.

- The fourth patch can be merged.

Still in the final stages though, but I guess we want that in so it's 
up-to-date for the Whinlatter doc release?

Whinlatter will be released a bit later this month I guess, so we should 
probably move its rectangle to the right to align with December.

Cheers,
Quentin

Yes, this is planning in advance.

Oh good catch, I'll adjust that in the v2.

[PATCH 4/4] poky.yaml.in: split automatic and manually replaced macros

[Antonin Godard]

Instead of thinking some of these macros should be replaced when a new
release is out, split the variable that should be manually maintained
and the ones that are automatically computed in set_versions.py.

DISTRO_REL_TAG and DISTRO_REL_LATEST_TAG aren't actually replaced, so 
should we move them with the unchanged variables below?

Ha, had a bit of hesitation for these ones, it's true they aren't replaced
although I doubt they're subject to change. Will move them anyhow, thanks.
