This seems like it will cause links themselves to end up getting shipped under the UID/GID that was used for building, which was the whole thing that fixup_perms was trying to avoid in the first place. Surely you do want to fix their ownership, it's just the mode that you oughtn't to be trying to change. Also, unrelated to the technical details, the subject line of this patch is not especially illuminating. It would be better to say something like "package.bbclass: don't change mode/owner of symlinks" rather than like "symlink bug fix". p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
