Yeah. The downside to this is that it will require extra package-manager-specific hackery in each of the rootfs backends, since there isn't any portable way to either forcibly remove a package or to get a dependency disregarded. But I guess I can make it work for ipkg easily enough and we can worry about the others later. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
