RE: [PATCH 3/5] wic: use E2FSPROGS_FAKE_TIME and hash_seed to generate reproducible ext4 images

[<Adithya.Balakumar@toshiba-tsip.com>]

Hello Anton,

Hope this message finds you well.

Just wanted to follow up on a previous mail regarding wic and other related updates from openembedded-core. You had mentioned about the updates from openembedded-core to be handled right after the release of ISAR v0.10

Would like to understand if there are any plans for wic and other related updates from openembedded-core.

Thanks and Regards,
Adithya Balakumar

Hello,

We are going to make v0.10 release soon and probably can take care of externals (like WIC, OE libs and Bitbake) update right after that.
