Feel free to copy+paste+adjust this thread in the wiki! :) > Regarding meta-recipes I a have a few questions for you: > - Is there any way to mark a recipe as part of a meta-recipe? You can use the directive part_of=Package in the recipe. However, for the time being, that doesn't do anything other than telling RecipeLint not to warn when a Dependencies file is not found. > - What's about making clear whether a recipe is supposed to be compiled > alone or as part of a meta-recipe ? For example, has sense to compile a > Xorg sub-recipe? We could spawn a confirmation question whenever a recipe containing 'part_of' is about to be compiled manually, yes. Maybe that can even make things easier when someone doesn't know "where to start from" when a bunch of recipes are seen around the same program (cc:'ing gobo-devel so that others can comment on this; this sounds reasonable to me). It's just important to keep that as an option, as there are many users who are used to update just small components of bigger packages (eg: Jonas and Xorg sub-recipes :-)) -- Lucas powered by /dev/dsp _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
