When you're building some package you don't know in which image it will be included so you cannot know with which *IMAGE_FEATURES* it should be built. It's true that EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES are often set in DISTRO config, but still it's unsafe to assume they are "global". With improved base_contains and sstate interaction, using some flag in DISTRO_FEATURES shouldn't cause so many packages to rebuild, so it could be usable for "debug-build" flag. > ________________________________________ > From: Paul Eggleton [[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2013 12:24 PM > To: Brad Litterell > Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [yocto] Setting PV dynamically in a recipe > > Hi Brad, > > On Tuesday 17 December 2013 19:46:11 Brad Litterell wrote: > > Thank you for the reply.
