Surely for one-off tests you can just write out the whole intended value of DISTRO_FEATURES in your local.conf. It doesn't seem as though this variable is unwieldy enough that it really needs mechanical handling. As for poky appending to DISTRO_FEATURES rather than just setting it, that sounds like it's arguably a bug in poky and you should perhaps take it up with those guys. Of course, they might take the view that poky itself is meant to be determining what DISTRO_FEATURES it wants and they don't want to support or encourage random frobbing of flags by third parties, and I think that'd be an understandable position. >We call it and /finalize/ the database so it has _append/_prepend >resolved before mangling the list. That seems a bit unwholesome in itself. Are you sure there are no potential bad consequences from calling finalize() there? p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
