(aside: prepping to teach an OE/yocto course in a couple weeks, going thru the docs again, so be prepared for questions, some of them potentially silly but all in aid of clarifying bits of documentation. i'm sure scott rifenbark is currently steeling himself for the experience. :-)
i'm intimately aware of the current doc pages that list how to establish your yocto build environment, such as this: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Poky/GettingStarted/Dependencies but a question or two. in some cases, i've seen, say, subversion listed as a prerequisite, even though subversion is clearly built natively. so is it *truly* a user-installable prerequisite? or am i misreading something? also, at this point, is there a list of what one can safely add to ASSUME_PROVIDED to cut down build time on a new project? i recall from way back when that, if you use ASSUME_PROVIDED, you're sort of voiding the warranty in terms of what's been quality checked. but if one is willing to take a chance, is there a set of packages that would be considered "safe" to assume are provided? (for example, i would assume that, in any current distro, git would certainly be safe, no?) rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P. J.
