OK. I think the best course of action is to petition upstream for a stable release and then update OE-Core to that, then we can drop the recipe from meta-oe without ill effect. > > * xserver-nodm-init: the two versions are quite distinct.

We kind of discussed this already - PACKAGECONFIG can't work for this anyway because at least for the database drivers it's a tri-state switch. At the moment all these bbappends really do is set QT_SQL_DRIVER_FLAGS, DEPENDS and set the correct include directory. This is not a particularly advanced mechanism, is unlikely to change, and I don't think it's too much to ask for this to be set in each distro layer. This is distro policy and should not be expressed in meta-oe.
