I seem to recall having problems when my build tree had the hyphen ("-") in the path.Paths with "-" in certainly work for me. If there are any recipes which break in that situation then we should just fix them. OE already has quite a range of baroque restrictions on what sort of TMPDIR you are allowed to use (no nfs, no symlinks in the path, no spaces in the name) and every new prohibition represents a loss in usability. This patch as proposed already forbids a whole range of characters, including things like "+", and I think that disallowing "-" as well would be a step too far.
Fair enough. I don't recall exactly what problems I had (in the dark past), but I've just avoided trees with "-" in them. I'll give it another look if/when an opportunity comes by. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
