Layer Development

CI Approach [DRAFT]

Scope:

• The goal of the CI tooling is to automatically check the compatibility of the layers with regard to a certain release of the Yocto project in combination with a certain release in relation to a certain release of meta-qt{5|6}
• The CI shall ensure that there is a documented compatible combination of Yocto meta-layers
• The CI shall ensure that backports to older Yocto layers are compatible with older Bitbake versions and recipes

Branch / Merge Strategy [DRAFT]

• application releases are updated in the master branch
  • exception is if the tracking branch for an old Yocto LTS release shall be updated to version older than in the master branch
• change from the master branch that shall be used for older Yocto releases shall be cherry-picked
