2011-06-22u-boot: set SRCREV to a git revision instead of a tag referencePaul Eggleton
If we use a tag here then bitbake has to connect to the repository to find out the corresponding revision (so it can expand SRCPV which is part of PV, which amongst other things is needed to determine whether or not the package has to be rebuilt.) This occurs at parse time; on machines behind a firewall or with no network access this can be a problem. We wish to avoid unnecessary network accesses and network access in our default configuration during parse time is even worse. Substituting the git revision corresponding to the tag prevents bitbake from having to contact the remote repository in order to expand PV.

2011-05-27u-boot: rename u-boot_git.bb to u-boot_${PV}.bbDarren Hart
In order to facilitate reuse of the oe-core u-boot recipe, there needs to be some assurance that the oe-core version won't change without a clear indicator to people extending it. By renaming the recipe to include its version string instead of "git", BSP layers can extend a specific base version of u-boot, ie. u-boot_2011.03.bbappend. When 2011.06 becomes available, we can create that file without instantly breaking all the BSPs depending on oe-core version of the recipe. As a matter of policy I would recommend we not carry more than 2 versioned u-boot recipess at any given time. This will provide BSP layers time to migrate to the newer version, without cluttering oe-core with numerous stale versions of u-boot. We may decide later to resurrect u-boot_git.bb as an AUTOREV recipe to faciliate upstream development on u-boot in the oe environment.
