That command would also like to display the feature description and compatibility info to the user as well - currently I do that by also wgetting the .scc file for each feature and parsing it out, which works but is very slow. If that info was also available as part of kern-features.rc (or separate files if it makes more sense), it would be almost immediate and very helpful. 30813 1 dvhart 2013-03-18 21:03:27 +0000 Bruce, please update the milestone/importance if this is to make 1.4. We're in M6 stabilization now. 34824 2 bruce.ashfield 2013-07-24 19:38:23 +0000 moving this to M4, where we expect to have the new kernel in place. 40758 3 jessica.zhang 2014-02-27 16:10:31 +0000 Hi Bruce, I'm moving this bug to M4 since we don't do enhancement in M5 which is for stablization. Thanks, Jessica 40766 4 bruce.ashfield 2014-02-27 16:20:41 +0000 That likely means it won't be done at all .. it was moved to spread the load. Also note, we shouldn't blindly be looking at "enhancement" as a tag, but instead trusting developers. If this was implemented, it is additional information and cannot impact stability .. so painting everything with one brush, is a bad idea. Moving out of 1.6 completely.

I'd suggest retargeting there and annotating the subject to indicate it's really more of a Doc change than a feature enhancement. 40872 6 dvhart 2014-03-04 22:17:09 +0000 Maybe move it to minor as well. 44943 7 srifenbark 2014-08-04 07:48:15 +0000 Hi, I don't really understand this issue enough to update the docs. We do have a section in the bsp-guide at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/bsp-guide/bsp-guide.html#using-the-yocto-projects-bsp-tools that talks about the 'yocto-kernel' command. Would this documentation change be added user functionality to that command? Scott 44948 8 dvhart 2014-08-04 15:45:33 +0000 Scott, this is a development item which provides additional information through the yocto-kernel interface. 44959 9 srifenbark 2014-08-05 05:23:32 +0000 Darren, Ok - thanks. So when the bug is resolved the yocto-kernel script will provide new information to the user. Thanks 90759 10 bruce.ashfield 2021-06-24 16:04:25 +0000 We don't have any tooling that is active that needs this functionality, but it is still present in the kernel-cache. Closing this, since the need expressed in the case no longer exists.
