I suggest running the grep first redirected to the file, then editing the contents to ensure you don't get things like CHANGELOG and probably be careful with the Documentation. The groups look sane to me. The only other thing I'd make sure to try and watch (not necessarily handle) are multi-line bb.data.[sg]et(Flag)? calls. I suspect there are few enough of them, if any, that they could be managed by hand. -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Linux Kernel _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
