Thanks for the encouragement of the 10+ years of
maintaining meta-virtualization!

The reason they aren't exact git tags or exact releases is that those
hashes stay valid
for such a short time that it simply isn't worth it. And there's certaining
no value in
constantly bouncing the files through _<version>.bb and the _git.bb every
time I
move off an exact release tag.

Maintaining all this many recipes, that move this quickly by stacking
patches on to
languages that don't patch all that way would simply be chaos.

Patrick: there's nothing wrong with script that was intentional on the
version.

Which would be easier in your scenario ? (and by your scenario, I mean me
changing
the version reporting in the recipe.

 - adding the -dev into the PV
 - injecting the "base" version into the build via -X (or whatever
mechanism the
   buld needs) ?
