+        using a
+        <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#working-with-a-pr-service'>PR service</ulink>
+        in order to automatically manage the incrementing of the

+
+    <para>
+        This class is enabled by default because it is inherited by the
+        <link linkend='ref-classes-package'><filename>package</filename></link>
+        class.
+        However, the OpenEmbedded build system will not use this variable
+        unless
+        <link linkend='var-PRSERV_HOST'><filename>PRSERV_HOST</filename></link>
+        has been set.
