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 , 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…

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 . 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…

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
