Description Trevor Gamblin 2026-10-19 18:16:01 UTC 
I'd like to enable AUH for the meta-riscv layer, so that we can automatically update custom recipes (e.g. linux-mainline.bb, which is a catch-all for multiple BSPs which build with differing SRC_URI lists and options). Additionally, it would be good to support supplemental maintainer lists so that if a project beyond OE-core wants to assign its own maintainers for recipes, they can run AUH and receive update notices. Is this something worth doing?
Comment 1 Trevor Gamblin 2026-10-19 18:17:54 UTC 
Worth noting that there are some edge cases to handle if this is of interest, too. For example, in meta-riscv we have linux-mainline.bb, which contains SRC_URI lists and various configs (via override) for multiple different BSPs. It also inherits from linux-yocto.inc indirectly, which has RECIPE_NO_UPDATE_REASON set, so it gets ignored by default by AUH. We could override that in the recipe, but it may also be worth adding some extra logic for such cases.
