We cannot even rely on DISTRO_FEATURES in the middle of the base configuration construction; basically conditional includes in the base configuration are not reliable at all. > b) Users change this in a variety of places some of which would be > bitten by the immediate expansion problem even just in recipe context I agree. The same had already occurred to me, with a slightly different failure mode: c) base image recipe does the conditional include based on IMAGE_FEATURES, bbappend is used to change IMAGE_FEATURES => include done based on something other than the final IMAGE_FEATURES -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
