Salut,

the blacklisting of packages as found in angstrom.bbclass
is pretty helpful and would be beneficial to all kinds
of distribution configurations in OE. Would there be
a strong objection of renaming this to blacklist.bbclass?

Copying, of course, is also a possibility, but
in my opinion it would only be the second best choice.

Cheers,

If blacklisting a certain package for all distro's is there then still
a need to keep those blacklisted packages ????

The class that Mickey is talking about is just the mechanism to allow
blacklisting.  It doesn't actually contain a list of blacklisted
packages; I think that typically goes in DISTRO.conf for distros that
use it.

However, if we do want to rename it to something more global (which I
agree seems like a good idea) then the contents would need a bit of
tweaking since both the variables that it looks at, and the messages
that it outputs, make reference to Angstrom specifically.

I've had that locally for a long while now (BLACKLIST and just %s is unsupported because %s). So I vote in favor of a generic list distros blacklist items class.
