Ah, I understand... In my grep listing, all the packages there were marked RPROVIDES. I will try what Marc suggested and add a PROVIDES line in there. I'll let the list know in a week or so. rusty On 1/23/06, Florian Boor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Russell Geldmacher wrote: > > I was un

Hi Florian, I was under the impression that when OE sees a package that has (R)DEPENDS on another package, it will go find the one marked (R)PROVIDES for that functionality and build it. Is that wrong? rusty On 1/20/06, Florian Boor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Russell Geldmacher wrote:

Hi Devesh, For now I was starting with the OpenEmbedded build of Maemo, even though it seems like only Maemo 1.0 is available in OE. It seems to me that OE automates exactly what is needed to create a Maemo rootstrap. Once that rootstrap is created, porting the necessary pacakges to a new device s
