I've been experimenting locally with the following patchset. Its sent based against poky since it requires a bitbake change and I also tested beagleboard specifically and this was the easiest way to do it. Obviously these can be split out easily enough. The reason a bitbake change was needed was so that the "contains" functionality could be used in core variables before base.bbclass is loaded. The patches themselves have further details about what they change and why. The transition for this could be a little tricky but is dectable when it hasn't happened by looking if TUNE_PKGARCH is set. Its easy to add a check for that and error. I've not completed the machine/tune files conversion preferring to discuss the patches at this point before going any further. Cheers, Richard
