Hi, @kacf Will there be support for `styhead` in master-next for Mender? I see many recipes breaking due to [WOKRDIR change transition guide/notes](https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2007) , including licensing checksum checks. Thanks, Vikas ---

Hi @jainvikas8, There might or might not be a `master` branch which builds on `styhead`, it comes down to a) contributions that make it work, and b) me finding time to set it up and run test builds. From a product perspective, as `styhead` is not an LTS release, there will not be an officially supported version or branch for it. Greetz, Josef ---

Thanks for the reply. If there are contributions for `styhead` or future non-LTS releases, should that be raised against `master-next` ? ---

@jainvikas8 yes please. I think `master-next` is currently not updated, I’ll try to get that done and ping you then, okay? Greetz, Josef ---

Thanks. Just a generic question, how frequently the `master` is synced with `master-next`? Does this only happen every LTS release or non-LTS release or `master-next` is stable enough? I see, `master-next` has not been updated for quite a while. ---

Any update on this, please? Should we use `master` instead of `master-next` temporarily? ---

Hi @jainvikas8, Just a few days after your last post I started working on it, and actually we have hit a somewhat ugly bug during the process. Hopefully we can fix and push it soon, but I don’t have a timeline yet, really sorry about that. Greetz, Josef ---

Any update, please? We are currently working on patches to make meta-mender `scarthgap` compatible with `styhead`. So if we know which branch we can use, then we can start rebasing to it. Thanks, Vikas ---

Hi @jainvikas8, My current state of work is at [GitHub - TheYoctoJester/meta-mender at master-next](https://github.com/TheYoctoJester/meta-mender/tree/master-next). It didn’t pass (or even run) full validation, but manual testing on `styhead` was positive, so feel free to work from that in the meantime. We need to figure out a build breakage with `boost` 1.87 before it can be pushed back to the main repository, unfortunately. Greetz, Josef ---

Thanks, We ran into `boost` problem, therefore downgraded it to 1.86. Should we consider this a temporary workaround for `master-next` (merge to github repo) until it is fixed for `main`? ---

Hi @jainvikas8, As `styhead` is on `boost` 1.86, no workarounds are directly needed as I understand it. 1.87 is in `walnascar`, which is the current development branch and I think it will be sorted out until it is released. Greetz, Josef ---
