yes, like from any other distro, and like ipv4 or nls etc.. >If that's the case then it's just a bug: presumably it's been harmless >in the past because very few packages care about it.

Distros should be fixed to ask for or require a feature if they require it. For a nice way to flag packages with HANDLED_FEATURES, see conversation with kergoth from today, around 18:00 UTC. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
