:-( Having looked at it, there were valid concerns about bits of the patch but Koen's email was also rather strongly worded :-/. > As for the other things you changed, well, we're not using a current > version of bitbake (I outlined the reasons a while back) I realise this is your choice and accept that. It does concern me though as you're becoming stuck with what amounts to old buggy and unmaintained software. Its a shame we've reached an impasse on the issue as one small change allows you to use the latest bitbake. I agreed that change isn't ideal but is it worth the cost? FWIW, the way OE uses that variable was wrong and should never have been allowed, it just happened to work. We need to find an alternative to what its doing, particularly with the way bitbake development will head (multithreading). In the meantime, that "fix" does avoid the problem in a way that is totally hameless and will not break anything. I'm a little concerned that familiar is drifting away from OE the way it is. I no longer see commits to familiar and I suspect familar devs don't see commits to OE. As an example, looking at the above patch, I see you've made some improvements to tslib and this "detect-tsdevice" which I was unaware of and would have been useful as I also found similar bugs in poky/OE and fixed them a different way. OE now has udev handling the tsdevice setup. We should really be trying to share these things. > > I've extracted the sensical portions, cleaned them up *a lot* and > > committed them. > > ...and once again you failed to even mention the original authors. People do need to acknowledge where patches come from and it is important. Koen has been better at referencing poky recently which is good so we're perhaps slowly getting somewhere here. I'm not entirely sure how to take the o-hand reference in one of todays commit messages so I'm choosing to ignore it. Commit messages aren't really for jokes (I'm being charitable and taking it as one).
