But I still think that sub recipes should have dependencies included. Before I was aware that I updated an old version I redid the entire Xorg recipe and even if it took me one days work I still believe that this is the way to go.
To reply to the message you are refering to (as that is to old to reply to itself), my approach would rather be to have the dependencies in the sub recipes and when compiling the meta recipe all recipes would be downloaded first and their dependencies merged. -- /Jonas _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
