We always find ways to work around crude upstream makefiles, that's not the point. Most of the code in ptxdist/oe/buildroot/... is about patching upstream packages for proper cross compilation. Most of that is necessary because people invent their own superduper makefiles, instead of using proven technologies like autotools etc. The arguments are all in Lennart's paper about userspace for kernel hackers, and we fully second that. The thing is that the source distro maintainers need to invent their own workarounds, in different ways and with different bugs. So our suggestion is to go the systemd way and provide one proven solution in the upstream. However, all this is theory without patches. So I'd suggest that we do our homework first and check if we find a minimal patch which avoids complexity for the maintainers. 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 | _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
