I doubt it is used and oe_libinstall is the preferred option now. That said, that function could be useful and is generally harmless so I'm inclined to leave it. Whilst looking, I did notice oe_machinstall which looks more problematic though and there was a small bit of dead code in oe_libinstall so I sent patches for those. Cheers, Richard
