- I find it a bit dishartening that Holger does not recommend you to use OE for software development. One of the main reasons we were in search for a comprehensive build system was so that we could offer a consistent means of buliding our entire distribution to all developers and Configurtion Mgmt, Testing, Release teams alike with out everyone having to be an expert with all parts of the system (and all different build tools that had cropped up in the different locations we have engineers - india, US east coast, west coast). It *is* difficult to make it work for devlopers and build teams alike, but having a consistent means building software is a huge step creating a really great build system. Further if people are discouraged from using OE as a tool for developers, then it will never get any better and this hole of support in OE will not be filled.
Another way of looking at Holder's response is that we feel we could do a better job of supporting people using OE to do software development. There are certainly ways to use OE to do SW development.
I would really like to see us look at improving the experience for people doing sw dev for OE based distributions.
