[yocto] Getting a package PV from another

[Mike Looijmans]

The version of your OE layer is all the version that you'll ever (technically) 
need. That version (usually a git hash) dictates all other versions.

When asked for version numbers of included packages, I always just dump the 
manifest file into their lap.

You can also ask and report the version numbers at runtime (e.g. using opkg or 
dpkg). That also prevents lying to your users :)
