+# NOTE: THIS FILE IS DEPRECATED. Please add new entries to the recipes themselves.
+#
+# upstream_tracking.inc - This file contains data that tracks the
+# upstream project associated with a given recipe. This list is needed
+# for recipes that version information can not be automagically discovered.
+# As we automate this checking, this file will slowed be reduced.
+#
+# This data is used by the package reporting system (packages.yoctoproject.org)
+#
+# The format is as a bitbake variable override for each recipe
+#
+# RECIPE_UPSTREAM_VERSION_pn-<recipe name> = "<version>"
+# RECIPE_UPSTREAM_DATE_pn-<recipe name> = "Mmm dd, YYYY"
+# - This is the latest upstream version and date
+# RECIPE_NO_UPDATE_REASON_pn-<recipe name> = "<free form text>"
+# - Used to note why a recipe should not be upgraded to a newer versoin
+# CHECK_DATE_pn-<recipe name> = "Mmm dd, YYYY"
+# - This is the date that upstream was last manually checked over time
+# this should be removed as we automate this checking
+#
+# These entries will slowly be removed as we can automatically determine
+# the information in this file. So for existing recipes that we can get
+# from the Recipe reporting system, the entries here can be removed.
