Hey there, some low-level T2 devs might noticed or had to work with pkgs .desc [P|PRIORITY] tags that is a left over of the early ROCK Linxu days when 200 MHz RISC machines where not that fast to do a full dependency graph fast (in shell code).
20 years later the time slowly comes to finally get rid of this curse pkg order sorting. Yesterday we changed to default pkgs to the std stages and 800.000 priority and Remove such P tags from all 2233 or so matching .desc. With partial P tags one can now use it to only specify the default selection (X vs. O), or custom cross bootstrap stages w/o any priority number. This is only a first quick step to motive us all into real dep graphs later this year while already making half of the .desc files for cli tools and UI apps on the edge of the graph cleaner and more attractive for new deps. As we have some other high priority TODO times it might take a while to fully dep graph, though. Patches as always welcome! PS: Tomorrow I should be on the Embedded World Expo in Nürnberg in case someone likes to in person meet.
