So, building any of the *-image recipes is non-deterministic, if it pulls in optional deps for other recipes? It then comes down to the build-queue ordering, which is probably not guaranteed to have a predictable order, especially with a high number of parallel bitbake threads. Sounds like there's a need for something similar to Gentoo's USE flags. grtz, Sander _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
