Wouldn't the test become faster when using artificial recipes, i.e. something which doesn't really need sources? Such an artificial recipe can use a local file as its "source", for example. Or did I misunderstand something and the selftest doesn't really build ed? -- 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
