No, but rejecting the big bang doesn't mean that we can't make the change; it just means that we need to find a way to make the old and new arrangements coexist for a transition period. This is the way every other architectural change in OE has been done and I don't see any reason that this one needs to be different. If we really did want to go ahead and have a metadata flag day then no doubt there are plenty of other things we would like to change at the same time. But, thus far, this has never seemed to justify the disruption of breaking every recipe in both the main OE repo and third party overlays. I must admit that I'm also slightly unclear about why the change in build dependency specifications is a prerequisite for doing per-recipe sysroots. Is that just an artifact of the way you implemented it in OE-lite or is there some fundamental constraint that means it needs to be this way? p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
