Hi,
sorry (Tim) for this mess, but its a ramp up thing and we finally agreed what we really want.
so we talked about our meta package naming and partly because of infrastructural requirements from live-helper, but also partly because we think its more consistent we would need the following changes to the linaro meta package naming:
- Source: change to linux-meta-linaro
- Binaries:
Rename: linux-linaro-image-omap to linux-image-linaro-omap Rename: linux-linaro-image-vexpress to linux-image-linaro-vexpress 3. Headers: Rename: linux-linaro-headers-omap to linux-headers-linaro-omap Rename: linux-linaro-headers-vexpress to linux-headers-linaro-vexpress
in this way the binaries/headers would be consistent with the current "normal" naming scheme that is: linux-image-$flavour ... with flavour being "linaro-X" for everything that gets produced from linaro tree this cycle.
The upshot of these change requests are:
1) The Linaro kernel meta package source name is changing from linux-linaro-meta to linux-meta-linaro.
2) The meta package binary names are changing from linux-linaro-image* to linux-image-linaro*. Similarly for headers packages, e.g., linux-linaro-headers* to linux-headers-linaro*
If you are a consumer of Linaro ARM images _and_ you are planning an upgrade, then this _will_ affect you. If you are installing images from scratch after this change is implemented, then you're likely OK.
This change will definitely require a change in the installer.
