I've had this in my tree for a few weeks and the only package I've found so far that went wrong was polkit, see separate patch for that. (There a few other packages for which "make clean" fails in a harmless manner.) But it's true that I haven't built the whole of world this way yet. >I'm wondering how many recipes will suffer from issues with "make >clean" verses how many recipes would struggle if we defaulted >${B} != ${S}? My guess is that "make clean" is slightly more likely to work (or, at least, not break anything) on average. But defaulting ${B} != ${S} would definitely be a desirable thing in the longer term and I would certainly be in favour of moving in that direction. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
