I would have thought you would be better off setting a positive DEFAULT_PREFERENCE for your own DISTRO inside the bb file in question. That doesn't require any bitbake changes and doesn't introduce any semantically-murky extensions. Your scheme of setting "1.0+git%" may work fine if there is just a single git-based bb file in the repository but it would obviously break down if a second one were ever to appear. That seems like an unhealthy state of affairs. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
