This contains various architecture improvements and legacy staging cleanups that have been used in Poky for a while with great benefit. One thing people have seen with this branch is configure failures like: """ Written by Tom Tromey and Alexandre Duret-Lutz . AUTOV is 1.10 cp: cannot stat `/media/data1/builds/oe1/tmp/sysroots/armv5te-oe-linux-gnueabi/usr/share/gettext/config.rpath': No such file or directory """ This means you need to inherit the gettext class in the .bb file as the package has a gettext dependency that is missing, i.e. a trivial fix. Obviously these don't appear once gettext has been built as a dependency for any one thing. There are warnings about missing inherits in the QA tests though. Poky has these as errors, I don't think OE is quite ready for that yet but it would be something to start working on. I and others will keep an eye open for problems related to this merge and address them as quickly as possible. These changes are important to move us closer to our goals of improved sysroot handling, better packaged staging and so forth. Cheers, Richard
