Anyway, since we don't control that syntax, let's indeed > keep it simple and compatible. And I, after more consideration, that you of course was right, and we should provide user-visible settings in well-known format, not something internal. So, I (once again) checked that glibc-package.bbclass of SUPPORTED's "a[.b] c" syntax just throws away b, and uses a.c as designator. So, patch is updated: http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1966 Thanks for suggestion! > I would like usage of the colon better than the comma though... > Jan. -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
