IIRC, it's somewhere between really tricky and just not possible to nicely shove chrpath-native as a dependency into the graph. I'm going to pause my siteinfo stuff shortly and take a stab at mercurial and help2man since I know the recipes exist in oe.dev and this time around I'll take a stab at adding stuff to ASSUME_PROVIDED if found (oe.dev just has help2man-native in local.conf.sample). -- Tom Rini Mentor Graphics Corporation _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
