What you are really saying is that the onus of maintaining working clutter packages should be on the BSP maintainers. I have already explained previously in this thread why I don't think this is going to work out in practice, so I am not going to repeat myself again. > If clutter is taken out of OE-Core this becomes even harder because then > BSPs can no longer bbappend clutter or cogl (if that is indeed what is > required in order to enable machine-specific functionality) without fiddling > around with BBMASK or keeping the appends in yet another separate layer so > they don't impact other BSP users who aren't building Clutter. The BSPs would not need to do anything regarding clutter, no bbappends, meta-clutter would be self-contained in this regard. I don't think there is any point in bothering the list with this discussion any further, we have gone around the circle more than once. The whole point of the proposal was to make maintaining, using and supporting the clutter packages easier for everyone, but it seems I underestimated how important Clutter is to oe-core, and I am already looking forward to this newly discovered importance being translated into user happiness before too long. :) Tomas _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
