<p>Anyone have a Redfish client use case for Software Image
ExtendedVersion or see value in it being added to Redfish?<br>
<br>
Was attempting to get ExtendedVersion added to Redfish's
SoftwareInventory schema but Redfish did not see an "end-user /
standard use cases". IBM's use case is mostly for development and
Redfish's feedback was "single implementation can utilize OEM
easily". If someone else has a need, will pass that on to Redfish
and hopefully that will be enough to get it added to the schema.
<br>
<br>
Some background:<br>
ExtendedVersion - "<span class="pl-s">Extended version of the
level.</span>". A value from an OpenPOWER system: <br>
"ExtendedVersion":
"buildroot-2019.05.3-17-g522600d,skiboot-v6.5-242-ge19dddc5-p37cfc70,hostboot-820a099-pe030f7b,occ-3ab2921,linux-5.4.25-openpower1-p2339fe8,petitboot-v1.12,machine-xml-0f9b366-p7fb7a8d,hostboot-binaries-hw013120a.opmst,capp-ucode-p9-dd2-v4,sbe-0a77603,hcode-hw031620a.opmst"<br>
