Hi, Back in 2009, regex support was added in ASSUME_PROVIDED: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/commit/lib/bb/taskdata.py?id=efb0474231ed286073a5a5904094320da8cab28d
Looking at this now, I'm thinking its a bad idea. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13893 shows that adding: DEPENDS += "texinfo-nativejunk-that-does-not-exist" gives no errors at all. The code can't know whether a given entry in ASSUME_PROVIDED is a regex or not. Plan B is that we test for anchors in the string and only treat as a regex if they're present. I'm wondering if we can remove this code entirely though. Does anyone use regexs in ASSUME_PROVIDED? Cheers, Richard
