``LAYERRECOMMENDS_mylayer``).
:term:`LAYERSERIES_COMPAT`
Lists the versions of the :term:`OpenEmbedded-Core (OE-Core)` for which
a layer is compatible. Using the :term:`LAYERSERIES_COMPAT` variable
allows the layer maintainer to indicate which combinations of the
layer and OE-Core can be expected to work. The variable gives the
system a way to detect when a layer has not been tested with new
releases of OE-Core (e.g. the layer is not maintained).
To specify the OE-Core versions for which a layer is compatible, use
this variable in your layer's ``conf/layer.conf`` configuration file.
For the list, use the Yocto Project
:yocto_wiki:`Release Name </Releases>` (e.g.
&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;). To specify multiple OE-Core versions for the
layer, use a space-separated list::
LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_layer_root_name = "&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP; &DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP_MINUS_ONE;"
.. note::
Setting :term:`LAYERSERIES_COMPAT` is required by the Yocto Project
Compatible version 2 standard.
The OpenEmbedded build system produces a warning if the variable
is not set for any given layer.
See the ":ref:`dev-manual/layers:creating your own layer`"
section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
See :term:`bitbake:LAYERSERIES_COMPAT` in the BitBake manual.
