Gary, I understand you use it a lot. Great. But OE-Core should be trimmed, not extended. The recipes in OE-Core ought to be used by a a lot of people or to provide a validation for something. Sorry but x11vnc does not provide either. If you don't want to bring meta-oe, you can copy the recipe. But the size of meta-oe is not a justification to keep something on OE-Core. Instead, it would be better if you could help to split meta-oe more and it ultimately would be smaller ;-) -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
