I would like to raise awareness of the underlying problem here.

The current dependency/staging model of OE basically has this feature
that a build can be influenced not only by it's own dependencies, but
also what has been build before it (or not).

I strongly believe that this has to be fixed on the architectural level,
and not just on a case-by-case level as is currently needed.

I haven't received much feedback on the preivous posting about the
per-recipe staging principle implemented in OE-lite, but I decided to
take this opportunity to re-iterate the fact that the OE-lite
implementation of staging and build dependencies eliminates this
problem.

I am still very much interested in discussing how to move this
technology from OE-lite to OE, but as it impacts all recipe metadata
(build dependencies has to be redefined), OE community at a large really
needs to value the benefits of solving this problem.

Best regards,
Esben
