Re: Naming images

Thanks Quentin! That's just what I needed.

Do you know if there's a variable to control the content of /etc/version?

Cheers,

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.

Quentin
