The issue is, all whitelisted variables get re-exported (flagged as 'export' in the metadata). So a variable which already exists in the metadata and is *not* exported gets forcibly exported if you whitelist it. I've gotten bit by this in the past, and I suspect we'll want to revert the bitbake change to re-export whitelisted variables. -- Christopher Larson clarson at kergoth dot com Founder - BitBake, OpenEmbedded, OpenZaurus Maintainer - Tslib Senior Software Engineer, Mentor Graphics _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
