Getting the version of Yocto that is being used.

Getting the version of Yocto that is being used.

I've inherited a Yocto project that I know to be an old version. So one of
my tasks is to update to the latest version. Before I do this I would like
to know what version I have. The only information I can find is the bitbake
version, BB_VERSION        = "1.32.0".

Many thanks,
Richard.

When you run bitbake, it should also print the values of DISTRO and 
DISTRO_VERSION. Those should give a clue where you are at.

[Burton, Ross]

If your project also includes meta-poky then poky.conf will contain a
DISTRO_VERSION assignment.  However,
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases indicates that bitbake
1.32 was part of 2.2/morty.

I get the following for DISTRO.

DISTRO            = "yogurt"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "BSP-Yocto-RK3288-PD17.1.1"

Can't find any reference to yogurt so I assume this is something the
supplier of our SOM's has done. Looking on their Wiki it seems to be based
on 2.1.2 (Krogoth)


Thanks for the help. :)

Re: Getting the version of Yocto that is being used.

[Burton, Ross]

I think the message here is that we need to embed the oe-core version
in the metadata somewhere...

That is an excellent suggestion, yes.

This is probably coming from meta-yogurt layer provided by a company 
called Phytec. Looking at their git repository, they have branches for 
all Yocto releases, so you could probably start by looking at that. 
Generally, Phytec should be your support channel :)

For further reference by anyone who is reading this in the archive: the
supplier is Phytec, and the distro layer is here: https://git.phytec.de/meta-yogurt/

Yes they are Phytec boards. I have inherited the project from a 3rd party
and so in the mids of chasing up the support contacts and our account
details for their site. I'm sure you've all played the "Q) What are the
support / login details? A) I don't know, ask X, ask Y, ask Z.,
ask............" development game. ;)

Re: Getting the version of Yocto that is being used.

[Stefan Müller-Klieser]

Hello Richard,

some of us are also around on the list.

You should find all documentation on the product page. Specifically, the
git tag of the release is "2.2.1-phy3" which indicates that the release
bundles poky morty 2.2.1. In future we will also have LAYERSERIES_COMPAT
set.

If the documentation leaves some open questions, you can also write us
directly.

Regards, Stefan

Re: Getting the version of Yocto that is being used.

[Zoran Stojsavljevic]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6906 bytes --]

Hello Ross,

I have a different idea for poky versioning. Since, who ever does classical
poky, one will have at least three layers there from your reference poky
distro:

-----------------------
Build Configuration:  |
-----------------------
DISTRO = poky
DISTRO_VERSION = 2.4
-----------------------
Layer Revisions:      |
-----------------------

Since you decided long time ago to track poky DISTRO_VERSION assignment
with meta-poky... And meta-poky is not one to be always included in the
layering, correct?

Assuming that, you can implant/embed the following 4 lines:
DISTRO = "poky"
DISTRO_NAME = "Poky (Yocto Project Reference Distro)"
DISTRO_VERSION = "2.4"
DISTRO_CODENAME = "rocko"

in ./meta/conf/distro/defaultsetup.conf in meta layer. You anyway always
clone meta layer from OpenEmbedded, and do your own SHA256 (which is always
different than OE meta original).

As such, the base (meta layer) will ALWAYS contain the DISTRO_VERSION
variable, which is the correct approach, since you will also tag with
DISTRO_VERSION the meta layer (there are different meta layers per
different distro versions, do you agree?).

And... Everyone needs meta layer (the base one), don't you agree as well?

Do not forget. Open Embedded original meta will stay untouched, ready to be
used for other distros (whatever these distros mean).

*If I think deeper, actually Open Embedded meta layer determines (at the
end of the day) DISTRO_CODENAME, doesn't it?* ;-)

Best Regards,
Zoran
