[yocto] Layer versions at runtime

[Ayoub Zaki]

Hi,

That's easy to do :


do_install_append () {

     for layer in ${BBLAYERS}; do
         cd $layer
         echo -n "$(basename $layer) = "  >> ${D}${sysconfdir}/gitinfo
         git rev-parse HEAD >> ${D}${sysconfdir}/gitinfo
     done
}


add it in a recipe or add it to os-release.bbappend
