4746 | allows the layer maintainer to indicate which combinations of the | ||
4747 | layer and OE-Core can be expected to work. The variable gives the | ||
4748 | system a way to detect when a layer has not been tested with new | ||
4749 | releases of OE-Core (e.g. the layer is not maintained). | ||
4750 | |||
4751 | To specify the OE-Core versions for which a layer is compatible, use | ||
4752 | this variable in your layer's ``conf/layer.conf`` configuration file. | ||
4753 | For the list, use the Yocto Project | ||
4754 | :yocto_wiki:`Release Name </Releases>` (e.g. | ||
4755 | &DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;). To specify multiple OE-Core versions for the | ||
4756 | layer, use a space-separated list:: | ||
