Hi,

In my build system the generated images are in this format:

imagename-machine-timestamp.img

For release builds, I'd like to replace the time stamp with the image
version. I could rename the image after the build but is there a better way?

IMAGE_NAME variable is the one specifying the name which should be used
for the final image. c.f. https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/variables.html#term-IMAGE_NAME

By default, its value is "${IMAGE_BASENAME}-${MACHINE}${IMAGE_VERSION_SUFFIX}"

IMAGE_VERSION_SUFFIX is by default set to "-${DATETIME}" as documented
here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/variables.html#term-IMAGE_VERSION_SUFFIX

Therefore to put the image version, you just need to change
IMAGE_VERSION_SUFFIX to what you want it to contain.

Cheers,
Quentin
