Hello all, For me, having the version number contained in the name of package recipe is a little bit puzzling. For example: libpcre/libpcre_8.31.bb
Is there a solid technical reason to not have it like this? libpcre/libpcre.bb and inside the recipe to have a PV variable defined: PV="8.31" In that case, the upgrade/update process would not involve performing a "git move" operation. In my opinion, this "git move" operation is something to be avoided, as it puzzles a little bit the versioning system and complicates the review process. Of course, some changes in the bitbake system would be involved, but I guess would not be too complicated. Also, there will be a volume of work to be performed for changing the name of recipes and adding the PV variable inside the recipe. But I guess that a script could solve that, followed by some manual review. Waiting for some feedback.
