Subject: LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_ variable in the layer's recipe
Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2022 05:27:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGAf8LyT_nRAAK8WHPQwGDRjiQfaHHNUKPCfW=PJJ83FuWK1=w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello to Yocto community,

As I am much more passive yocto wise these few years ( working on
Android build systems and around, this is also a nightmare, I should
say ;-) ), I have one Yocto question which I never really understood.

I will ask it by example. I have one layer for the CAN tools and apps
which I have created 4 years ago:
https://github.com/ZoranStojsavljevic/meta-socketcan

In there, in conf/layer.conf:
https://github.com/ZoranStojsavljevic/meta-socketcan/blob/master/conf/layer.conf

I have the following line (layers' compatibility):
LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_meta-socketcan = "sumo thud warrior zeus dunfell
gatesgarth hardknott honister kirkstone"

I do not understand why we need to explicitly name releases for such
simple generic layers?!

Instead, for a virtual example:
LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_meta-socketcan = "${AUTOLAYER x}"

So all the layers might be included (or for at least lets say x = 4
latest releases, where x = 0 would be include all)? I do understand
that complex layers could NOT have such a definition (because of the
dependencies), but for the generic layers (as such presented), this
would be beneficial.

Thank you for the answers,
Zee
