For mender-monitor, it should already work from tarball (that is how we have designed the recipes).

For mender-binary-delta, this could be done and it would be a minor improvement for the user.

thank you!

: No, we don't have to. What we should do, however, is fix it before the release of yocto-3.5 (which I've set as FixVersion). The reason is that then we can fix both mender-binary-delta and mender-monitor. If we fix it before, then we can only fix mender-monitor, since mender-binary-delta is already released, and changing it would break the build.

So we might as well just keep them the same for now.

do we need to fix that before the release?
this is the task I was mentioning is possible to appear, so it appeared. pretty much takable at anytime, not super urgent at the moment.

thanks!
this is a follow up from: https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-qa/pull/526#issuecomment-900864519
also: heads up the tar-ball approach resulted in old monitor-client code in the images. (original reason for https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-qa/pull/526)
