Thanks Koen ;-) . Except it's likely won't work as h4000's defconfig doesn't seem to be checked in. Also, it *doesn't* work (though will as time passes), because it really requires kernel after some CVS date. No matter if that date will be added to h4000.conf, I'd really appreciate if following patch was applied to handhelds-pxa-2.6_cvs.bb: -K_MAJOR = "2" -K_MINOR = "6" -K_MICRO = "15" -HHV = "0" +K_MAJOR ?= "2" +K_MINOR ?= "6" +K_MICRO ?= "15" +HHV ?= "0" Of course, ideally it should be given just CVS date and be able to infer corresponding kernel version from the checkout, but I'm not sure it can be done with OE, as there's going to be circular dependency - it must provide PV to be selected for specific build, and cannot (and of course shouldn't) do any actions (like checkout) unless it is selected. I bet many OE developers emphisize OE's use for building distributions. But there's another important usecase for it - letting new people experiment with it and add support for new stuff. Having such patches in place (as well as .conf's which actually used them, even if commit history) would be very helpful for them (it took me couple of hours to come to understanding that I don't need to craft yet another handhelds-pxa-2.6_2.6.X-hhY.bb just for my specific case, and I can just reuse existing stuff, just fixing it a little). > Koen -- Best regards, Paul mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Oe mailing list [email protected] https://www.handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/oe
