Not at all, I'd also prefer that. If recipe "foo" has some obscure conditions when it can be built, then repeating those conditions in any recipe depending on "foo" is a maintenance headache. Last time I brought this up, it was mentioned as advantage of the current approach that conditions are explicit and thus less surprising. There's some truth to that, but I don't believe that it outweighs the disadvantages. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
