Yeah, I can see that. If we had a world rpm/deb as Ross suggests, I'm not sure that would actually give us a speed increase, so for now, I'm ok with leaving what we build alone. But yeah, let's not publish the rpm/debs. > > Cheers, > > Richard > -- Elizabeth Flanagan Yocto Project Build and Release -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
