Its a good feature where it provides a good incremental version from the maze of git SHA ids. That part is good however there is another variable it provides which is GITPKGVTAG that relies on the tags to be incrementally sortable which is broken since tags are arbitrary and systemd uses GITPKGVTAG I think I can defend GITPKGV but GITPKGVTAG will have unanswered questions. ideally bitbake fetcher should provide this functionality > > Symlinking stuff across layers is just wrong. The underlying issue has to be > resolved. I am in agreement. here its deemed to be a short term solution so lets live with it
