This is one of the longstanding problems we had in ptxdist. You could for example not express the dependency of a program against a static library (which is compile time only), because until now "the" dependencies are also used for opkg deps. We don't have a clear vision where all this leads to, but having the possibility to define both is definitely a starting point in order to find out :-) rsc -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
