So IMO it has already started to hurt us.
just to quantify it. I have 11 warnings reported about it. WARNING: QA Issue: .... installed in the base_prefix, requires a shared library under exec_prefix (/usr) this is very custom image but very much similar to core-image-minimal now if I fix this 11 warnings. For the sake of it I fixed these 11 warnings by hacking patches for packages or recipes to move these files into base_prefix and it now gives me 16 more warnings about same but different files it wants to bring along into base_prefix its quite slimy :/ _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
