Hi Dominig,

Unfortunately I was not in Germany and so wasn't able to hear Stéphane's
presentation first hand.  Thank you for the slides,
but I think that the topic is a little different from what I'm trying to
figure out.

I don't want to create a new profile.  I want to have a way within a
profile (IVI in this case) to know if the build is for the Renesas
platform or not.  I understand that its possible to differentiate
between ARM and Intel with an "ExclusiveArch:" in the spec file, but
what about differentiating between different ARM platforms? (or Intel
"platforms" in the case of emulation).  I've also made a mention of this
issue last week in this bug report:
https://bugs.tizen.org/jira/browse/TC-1464

Looking at what is done for emulation, there is a separate build config,
build-emulator.conf, that sets up emulator specific values.
Is this the recommended way to do this?  It looks like it results in a
rebuild of all Tizen packages on the OBS.

Thank you,
Damian
