Description Ross Burton 2024-09-19 08:03:17 UTC 
linux-firmware uses devupstream to support builds from arbitrary git snapshots as well as the releases, but bitbake-layer doesn't show the devupstreamed version:

$ bitbake-layers show-recipes linux-firmware
=== Matching recipes: ===
linux-firmware:

Ross do you have more info on this issue?
Comment 2 Ross Burton 2024-09-23 12:23:01 UTC 
The linux-firmware recipe uses devupstream to create a second version of the recipe, which should be visible in show-recipes.
Comment 3 Randy MacLeod 2025-05-01 14:07:11 UTC 
Bulk move of all unassigned 5.2 medium importance bugs to 5.3.

That looks good, thanks Osama.  We don't take patches through bugzilla, please can you submit it to the mailing list?

The short version of the instructions is git-send-email --to openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org, but there are further instructions at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/submit-changes.html.
Comment 6 Osama Abdelkader 2025-10-24 16:42:54 UTC 
Thanks Ross. I thought bitbake patches should be sent to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org :), I just resent it to openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org and you.

Best regards,
Osama
