I wanted to keep 1.2.x as an option for a while in case someone needs it for building something not yet compatible with 1.5.x (cleaned up API). As requested, I'll make a simple patch to update from 1.2.50 to 1.5.13, but I'll leave it to you to decide if time is ready for such an API changing update. - ML _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
