This is the change i implemented.. https://github.com/rcn-ee/repos/commit/cc43ffb0374efb0e219863621927f5bc29b12212 Of course, after landing in Portland for ELC, turns out my build farm sbuild tar got corrupted over the weekend.. So yeah, till i rebuild the debian sbuild tar files and push it out to the build farm can't do much.. crap I fly back Saturday Regards, -- Robert Nelson https://rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
