Description Ross Burton 2016-03-24 20:30:31 UTC 
The COMPRESS_ framework (_CMD, _DEPENDS) in image.bbclass is useful for more than compressing images but can generate checksums too, basically its a command to run on an image.

Maybe we should rename it to reflect this.

There is a patch under review doing similar renaming: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2016-June/122574.html

It renames COMPRESSION* variables to CONVERSION*

The patchset is not going to be merged into M1. Moving to M2.
Comment 3 Ed Bartosh 2016-07-23 17:29:57 UTC 
Shifted to M3 as latest patchset caused problems and haven't been merged.
