I'm not proposing to stash multiple versions of same recipe with D_P in same layer. What I'm missing is use-case when for example with libsoup-2.4 I'm adding unstable version, because actually webkit-efl has random runtime crashes with stable version, but works better with unstable one. So I want to be able to add recipe with D_P = -1 which would say, that this recipe is not used unless someone really wants and adds P_V to his layer to get it (I guess people using browsers based on webkit-efl). But right now it will pick this unstable version from meta-oe by default and you have to add P_V for that stable version in oe-core (and keep it up2date as long as stable version in oe-core is updated). And I guess the same use-case D_P should be used for all "not so well tested" or "deprecated" recipes in meta-oe or any other layer. Even if there is meta-deprecated layer.. I guess nobody would prefer all deprecated recipes, but just some of them (ideally by pinning them with P_V). Cheers, -- Martin 'JaMa' Jansa jabber: [email protected]
