Re: [AUH][PATCH v3 3/4] upgrade-helper.py: Add stable option for patch-only upgrades

Yes, I can keep the rest locally and wait for the oe/bitbake to get resolved and backported to scarthgap. I believe patch 2 will be needed at some point by the other series, so they can build on top.

In the meantime to avoid duplication of efforts I'll focus on the changelog to be integrated with oe-core.

Thanks
Daniel

I meant particular this response to a patch from elsewhere that aims
for a similar function:

> So we keep patch 1, 2 and 4? Probably the most important is 2 [PATCH v3 2/4] upgrade-helper.py: Add compatibility with Yocto scarthgap, the other two can be optional.

I have to ask, if 2 is applied, would that be useful without the
ability to pick only stable bugfix-only updates? You'll probably have
to maintain both 2 and 3 privately while the 'stable updates' issue is
resolved properly in oe-core/bitbake master.

1/4 seems fine, the function of 4/4 is fine but I need to review the code.
