This is not really directed at Martin, but at the wider audience: For the past 6 months I have been trying to make consolekit work: http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/recipes-support/consolekit?id=eb828308b8e721e4ad7edbd15f47ecad22ee81cf http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/recipes-support/consolekit?id=5608a748af2c754f60137ab7c3010ccce6bf9e40 And right now it still isn't working properly. Look real close at the first commit; oe-core developers made a serious effort to make it non-functional[1], only linking needed to succeeded. So please stop saying CK will break, it already is broken. Now back to the original discussion: support setting multiple init managers in DISTRO_FEATURES and keep the final choice an IMAGE_FEATURE. The end result: the integrator keeps the same freedoms and when having only a single init manager in DISTRO_FEATURES things will slightly improve. regards, Koen [1] To be fair, that was not their goal, but it was the end result. No malice there, I verified :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iEYEARECAAYFAk8ycxMACgkQMkyGM64RGpF/MwCfdLEnjLDnZDtN5VhPt0mDZRzi LbcAn2aYuUZXcPkMRY2qfMYK2dgmSTC5 =sX7J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
