In the particular case of OpenSSH, it's just a configuration file setting, rather than a compile-time #ifdef, so doing it with IMAGE_FEATURES and a rootfs postprocess step sounds like a perfectly wholesome approach. I agree that the current mechanism used by dropbear (applying patches based on IMAGE_FEATURES) is full of suck and should be changed, perhaps to something more akin to what openssh does. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
